Diesdorf Coat of Arms

Shield Gules, parted by a cross Sable fimbriated Or, an oak leaf Or in pale in each quarter, on fess point an inescutcheon parted of Sable and Or in saltire, superimposed by a mascle in counterchanged colours.
Meaning:
In 1161 the Count of Warbke-Lüchow established an Augustinian monastery. The settlement developed next to the monastery and played an important role in Christianisation and colonisation of the area. The cross is alluding to the Christianisation and the cross roads as well. The inescutcheon is symbolising the frontier area of the Altmark. Especially the lozenge is taken from the arms of the Counts of Warbke-Lüchow. The oak leaves are representing the magnificent oaks around the monastery's walls and also the beauty of nature.

According to §2(1) of the local Hauptsatzung, version 9 January 2018 the municipality has neither arms nor flag, just a seal. According to §2(2) the former municipalities, mentioned in §1(2) are allowed to use their former symbols. Among those is also the namesake predecessor of the current municipality. I couldn't find any information about the approval of its symbols. Thus the predecessor's flag seems to be still already in use.

The barrulet wavy is representing the Beeke, a local creek. The millstone is alluding to the two watermills alongside the Beeke, which existed until the middle of the 20th century. The chief embattles is alluding to the Willerburg, a castle and seat of the Lords of Wallstawe.
