Origin/meaning :
The arms were granted in 1933 and are based on the old seal of the Amt Aerzen.
The lion is the lion of the Counts of Everstein who ruled the area from 1033-1425. The area became a possession of the Dukes of Braunschweig-Lüneburg who also used a lion in their arms. The wavy bar in the base of the shield symbolises the Humme and Griesse rivers.
