coat of arms

The draft of the municipal coat of arms of Willensen comes from the then first chairman of the association for the protection of Willensen's interests, Hartmut Ernst. The coat of arms was designed by him in the early 1990s and has slumbered in a folder ever since. In the course of the transformation of the joint municipality Bad Grund (Harz) into a unified municipality Bad Grund (Harz), this coat of arms was used after a color change of the wavy line recommended by the Lower Saxony State Archives Wolfenbüttel. The local council voted unanimously in the council meeting on December 19, 2013 for this existing draft.

Coat of arms of will
 Blazon : “ Divided diagonally to the left by a source ; on the right in red a silver duck's head between two golden ears of wheat , on the left in blue a broken golden sword placed obliquely to the left. "
Justification for the coat of arms: The Willensen district website mentions the following:

“The wavy line dividing the coat of arms symbolizes the wealth of sources. Ears and ducks indicate the rural origins of the place. Red, the color of life, stands for the long existence of the place, which was first mentioned in a document in 953 AD. A 1000-year history is very rare in places of this size. The broken sword symbolizes the free foundation without the protection of a castle complex. Blue, the color of heavenly power, stands for the trust of the founders in the same, without which a protective castle would not have been renounced. "
