is referring to this location. The piece of antlers refers to two facts.
1)On 8 May 1040 the German king Heinrich IV granted the Magetheide
to the bishop of Verden. Since then the area was used for hunting purposes.
2)The local foresters office was located in Stadensen in times, the
municipality belonged to the kingdom of Hannover.

Description of coat of arms:

open at the top.
Meaning:
The green colour is symbolizing the hills called Wierener Berge, it
is also symbolizing agriculture being the main business of the locals.
The municipality was built of eleven smaller municipalities. Those
were: Bollensen, Drohe, Emern, Kahlstorf, Groß Pretzier, Klein Pretzier,
Könau, Kroetze, Gavendorf, Ostedt and Wieren. There is a stone for every
former municipality. The locals added however a 12th stone for Kroetzmühle,
that was already a part of Kroetze before.
