The lion is the lion of the Welfen family, Dukes of Braunschweig. The village was on the frontier of Braunschweig and the State of Hildesheim and thus a stronghold of the Dukes. The two diamonds are derived from the arms of the Von Oberg family, which owned many possessions in the area from the 17<sup>th</sup> century until 1852. | The lion is the lion of the Welfen family, Dukes of Braunschweig.
