From 1946-1960 the district used arms with the legendary arms of the founders of the Convent in the 9<sup>th</sup> century; Duke Ludolf of Sachsen (died 866) and his wife Oda (died 913). As they died before heraldry existed their arms are legendary. The arms can be found in the church of the convent, but when these were devised is not known.
