Shield parted per fess wavy into silver over blue; above a green lindentree issuant; beneath a golden embowed base and a silver plough share, both ordered per pale.
Meaning:
The linden tree is representing former Neustadt municipality (see more details below), the plough share former Bischofferode municipality, a canting element symbolizing forest clearance. The fess wavy is representing former Großbodungen municipality, especially the local Bode creek. The embowed base is canting, symbolizing a mountain, here the Ohmberg, name giver of the new municipality.

Silver shield, issuant from base a red triplemount charged with a silver 6-spokes wheel, issuant from central peak a green linden tree supported by four black pallets, two on either side.
Meaning:
The wheel and the mount are reminding on the Archbishops of Mainz, the former rulers. The linden tree is said to be the most beautiful tree of this species in the whole Eichsfeld. It has a diameter of 14 meters and is standing on the common of Neustadt, where its leaves are protecting the inhabitants dancing on the common. Therefore it is called either "Tanzlinde" (=linden of dance) or "Angerlinde" (= linden, standing on the common).
