coat of arms

The content of the coat of arms refers to the origin of the population after the Second World War .

The oak branch on the left half of the coat of arms symbolizes "the ancestral Lower Saxony population" by depicting the oak tree, a landscape tree from Lower Saxony. The six independent or formerly independent municipalities of Reppenstedt, Kirchgellersen, Westergellersen, Südergellersen, Heiligenthal and Dachtmissen, which have been combined into a new unit since March 1, 1974, the Gellersen municipality, are shown in the form of the six leaves and the six acorns .

The right half of the coat of arms "shows a high cross , the 'German East Cross', to commemorate those population groups who had their home in the former German eastern regions".

Town twinning

In the spring of 1994, the Gellersen community entered into a partnership with the Polish Gmina Szczecinek ( New Stettin ).
