The shield is parted per pale. At dexter in a blue field is a silver eagle, armed, beaked and nimbed golden. At sinister the silver field is in base divided by a blue bar wavy, above is a green branch of linden with 11 leaves.
Meaning:
The eagle is representing St. John the Evangelist, the local patron saint. The branch is taken from the arms of the Von Witmar kin. The bar wavy is representing Weser River.
