adopted 8 Nov 1973
GÖTTINGEN
Additions : 1973 Duderstadt, Münden
Origin/meaning:
The old arms were granted on 25 October 1935.
The upper part of the arms shows the lion of the Welfen dynasty, Dukes
of Brunswick. The largest part of the district
was part of the main possession of the Welfen dynasty since the 13th century.
The lower part shows the arms of the Counts of Plesse, who ruled the northern
part of the district until 1571.
The new arms were granted on 8 November 1973.
The arms show in the upper part the Welfen lion, as a common symbol
for all three former districts. The lower part shows the anchor from the
old arms, combined with the small shield derived from the Münden arms,
and the wheel from the Duderstadt arms.
Literature : Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes; Linder and Olzog, 1996
