Shield Gules with base wavy Argent, a throughout bridge Argent masoned Sable with one arch, charged with an impending millrind Or, in chief a sword Argent hilted Or in pale, flanked by two grain ears Or in pale.
Meaning:
The bridge (German: Brücke) is a canting element. The village was first mentioned in the 9th century, had a royal court of the German kings in the 10th century and became seat of a court of justice later. The court was mentioned in 1360 and 1391 and is symbolised by the sword, in charge of pleas of life and member. The court of justice was dissolved in 1400 by the Dukes Bernhard I and Heinrich I of Braunschweig-Lüneburg. The millrind is referring to the Fährmühle, a watermill on the banks of the Oker River. The grain ears are symbolising agriculture as most important business line.

Schöppenstedt Coat of Arms

Shield Gules, on base wavy Azure a barge Argent, on barge a lion passant Or, armed and tongued Azure.
Meaning:
Schöppenstedt was first mentioned as a city in 1345. The first local seal with prints since 1419 displayed a canting barge over two small fish, canting because the name of the city is derived from ship (German: Schiff). The fish were symbolising the little Altenau River, which had been navigable due to the small ships in the Medieval. A second seal from the 15th century already displayed the lion of the Dukes of Braunschweig-Lüneburg from the Welfen kin, however sinister facing. The kin had rights and privileges in the area since the 12th century. The current pattern was displayed in the city hall since the 17th century.
