Shield parted per fess embattled; above Gules, a lion passant guardant Or, armed and tongued Azure; beneath Or four bars Gules.
Meaning:
The former municipalities of Lauterberg, Barbis, Bartolfelde and Osterhagen had been a founded by the Counts of Lutterberg. The current arms are based on their family seal from the 13th century. The embattled line of partition is referring to the castles of Scharzfels and Lutterberg, today both located in the city. Each bar is representing one of the municipalities mentioned above.
The arms were approved on 18 January 1974.

Shield quartered, 1st and 4th quarter barry of six of Or and Gules, 2nd quarter chequered of nine of Gules and Argent, 3rd quarter Argent a facetted 6-point star Gules.
Meaning:
Bad Lauterberg gained city rights in 1929. There is evidence of a town seal made in the 17th century and proven at least since 1737. It displays the former arms as an inescutcheon under a half length portrait of St. Andrew, the local patron saint. The 1st and 4th quarters displayed the family arms of the Counts of Lutterberg, the 2nd quarter those of the Counts of Hohenstein, being local rulers until 1398 and furthermore local rulers of Bad Sachsa from 1402 until 1593. The star in the 3rd quarter probably is a local symbol. According to source there existed also a red over yellow bicolour.
The inescutcheon was confirmed as city arms in 1951 by the local council.
