coat of arms

Steinwedel coat of arms
 Blazon : "In gold in the shield main three red iron hats , including a slight left at the sign foot lying, green branch with front right above one and below left two truncated branches a pile as growing , green acorn with two accompanying green oak leaves ."
Founding of the coat of arms: The municipality of Steinwedel has adopted the three red iron hats from the coat of arms of the noble lords "von Depenau". The famous Depenauer Mühle still reminds of this family today. The oak leaves with the acorn are supposed to keep the memory of the Steinwedeler Forest alive, which once covered almost the entire southern part of the Burgdorf district and in places also extended far into the neighboring districts. The branch in the base of the shield, which is modeled on a wolf tang, is intended to symbolize membership of the Burgdorf district , which has the wolf tang itself in its coat of arms.
