coat of arms

The coat of arms was approved by the district on December 11, 2008.

Blazon : "In blue a silver wolf jumping up from the capstone of a silver barrow with black claws and a knocked-out red tongue, three golden ears of wheat enclosed by the stones of the barrow, the two outer ones with a blade." The main colors of the coat of arms are derived from the main coat of arms motifs Wolf, megalithic tomb) and shield color - silver (white) - blue.

According to a legend, there was once a wolf plague around or in Winterfeld. A member of the von Winterfeld family, who lived in Winterfeld at the time, is said to have killed a wolf with his bare hand while fighting. For this reason, the von Winterfeld family has a wolf in their family coat of arms and as a helmet ornament.

The ear of wheat is also taken from the coat of arms of the Winterfelds. The second part of the community name “-feld” also shows that the history of the village is linked to agriculture and that agriculture was of great importance for Winterfeld. In the local area of ​​Winterfeld, more precisely in the parish garden, there is a barrow. Since barrows were created more than 5000 years ago, the village was built around the barrow. Barrows are typical of the Altmark, but a barrow right next to the church is a specialty.

flag

The flag is striped blue - white - blue (1: 4: 1) (horizontal shape: stripes running horizontally, lengthways shape: stripes running vertically) and centered with the municipal coat of arms.
