coat of arms

Blazon : "In red, an oblique silver wave beams, according to the figure accompanied by the top three fan-like questions golden oak leaves with an acorn and below the top of a golden bishop rod with expiring in an acorn and burgeoning small oak leaves decorated crookedness ."

The municipality decided to express the special situation of the place on the border river between the two dioceses of Verden and Halberstadt in the coat of arms. The silver wave bar symbolizes the Aland , the crosier the diocese border and the oak leaves refer to the natural environment of the community. The so-called crook of the bishop's staff, which is decorated in various ways in practice, was equipped with oak leaves in the Wendemark coat of arms in order to create a graphic relationship with the oak leaves above.

The coat of arms was designed by the Magdeburg local heraldist Jörg Mantzsch and approved by the district on March 4, 2009.

The colors of Wendemarks are derived from the tinctures of the symbolism = gold (yellow) and the shield = red.

flag

The flag is striped red - yellow - red (1: 4: 1) (landscape format: stripes running horizontally, lengthwise format: stripes running vertically) and centered with the municipal coat of arms.

  • The old cemetery is in the churchyard.
  • In 1958 a new cemetery with a mortuary was created on the southern exit of Parishof.
  • In Wendemark there is a memorial for those who died in the First World War (a square stele) and a memorial stone.

Trivia

In 1994, Hanns HF Schmidt told the saga The Wonder Book : A gentleman in Wendemark owned a number of books. He had had a valuable book attached to a lectern. A young man in his service was reading the book in his absence when toads, snakes, newts, martens with fish scales and other animals suddenly came into the room. A black knight in a closet advised him to read the text backwards. He did and with it the animals disappeared again. In 1908 Lühe transmitted the legend as Das Bannbuch zu Wedemark . Here, however, the book owner dissolves the magic by reading the text again backwards.
