coat of arms

Blazon : "On a green three-mountain , which is covered with a reclining, looking golden lion ,three red- covered silver spiers in black , the middle one with an open gate and golden portcullis , surrounded by eight silver roses with a golden chalice."

Justification of the coat of arms: Klemens Stadler writes about this in his book: “The coat of arms still has the form first attested to by an image seal from around 1500, according to which Hupp's rendering was based. In the seal dated 1637 with the peculiar inscription "Des Rahts Wapfen" the roses were depicted in a star shape. In more recent seals the three towers are similar. The lion is a reduction of the Lüneburg heraldic animal. The towers speak for the 'Samtgemeindenamen' and at the same time are a reminder of the castle and the status of the city that Duke Otto der Strenge granted in 1289. "
