Söllingen coat of arms
Blazon : "In a wave cut split by blue and gold , topped with two sugar beets in mixed colors."
Justification for the coat of arms: The two sugar beets in confused colors emphasize the double meaning for the place. Not only their cultivation was and still is an important economic factor, but also processing and propagation. The local sugar factory operated from 1850 to 1957, and a beet juice factory from 1886 to 1953. In their place has now come the production of seeds , which are exported all over the world. The split in the waves symbolizes Söllingen as a centuries-old border town. The water-rich Große Bruch forms a natural border. The Duchy of Braunschweig used to border the Prince Diocese of Halberstadt , then Brandenburg and Prussia. The Braunschweig national colors blue and yellow commemorate the historical affiliation of Söllingen to the state of Braunschweig.
