coat of arms
The coat of arms was approved by the district on April 22, 2010.
Blazon : “Split and half divided, two silver church towers in red in front, each with a black window and crosses on the pebbled pitched roofs; at the top in blue a silver lamb of God with a ring-shaped golden nimbus, on the golden cross staff a silver flag with a red cross; at the bottom growing in silver, a black grooved red well with a black well hole and above it a black bucket held by the black well rope hanging down from the partition. "
At its constituent meeting on January 14, 2010, the council of the community decided on the coat of arms designed by Magdeburg's municipal heraldist Jörg Mantzsch , which was subject to the approval process and which consists of elements of the coats of arms of the Born, Hillersleben and Neuenhofe districts. The symbolism was corrected by the heraldist compared to the coats of arms of the district in the sense of heraldic art: the church towers were crossed to represent them as clearly Christian buildings, the church and well are positioned "growing" and the well shaft is not a breakthrough and is therefore tinged in black.
flag
The flag is white - blue (1: 1) striped (cross shape: stripes running horizontally, lengthways shape: stripes running vertically) and centered with the municipal coat of arms.
history
Westheide was created on January 1, 2010 in the course of the municipal reform in Saxony-Anhalt through the merger of the previously independent municipalities of Born, Hillersleben and Neuenhofe.
