The village of Salzderhelden was already in medieval times important for its salt mining and purifying. In 1451 the local council asked for the right to use its own seal, which was granted by the Duke of Braunschweig-Grubenhagen. The seal showed a salt cooking pan with two salt-spoons and vapours. Even though the composition has been unaltered ever since, the size, shape and colours have differed widely. The above image is based on the arms as used since the late 19<sup>th</sup> century. | The village of Salzderhelden was already in medieval times important for its salt mining and purifying.
