WEDDINGEN
State : Niedersachsen
District (Kreis) : Goslar
Incorporated into : 1972 Vienenburg
Origin/meaning :
The arms were granted on March 13, 1961.
The arms show the cross of the Teutonic Order (Deutsche Orde), as already in the 13th century there was a small chapter of the Order situated in Weddingen. Previously the chapter resided in Goslar. The quartered shield of black and gold symbolizes this, as these are the colours of the city of Goslar.
Literature : Rabbow, 1977
