coat of arms

Blazon : "Split silver and red with an uprooted chestnut in confused colors."

On the occasion of the 900th anniversary celebration in 1984, Sargstedt created a coat of arms that, with its opulent accessories, could not be approved. Based on the symbolism of an uprooted chestnut in mistaken tinctures, the municipal heraldist Jörg Mantzsch designed the municipal coat of arms in 1997. The chestnut symbolizes a mighty tree that once stood in the village center; the colors refer to the diocese of Halberstadt.

The colors of the community are: red and white.
