Foundation of the coat of arms: The community of Groß Oesingen is located in a heathland landscape, which can be understood through the representation of two sheep pens that still exist today. The old Heerstraße running through the community of Groß Oesingen, marked by the white bar, was important because of the post office once located in the community, which is symbolized by the golden post horn.
