The shield was red, issuant from base a a goldendemi-lion, in chief a silver key set in fess.
Meaning:
Key and demi-lion already appeared in seals from the 18th century. The key is alluding to the City of Bremen. The citizens of Bremen had defeated the Dukes of Saxe-Lauenburg in 1381 and conquered castle and market town. In 1654 the town became a Swedish dominion, in 1735 part of the Electorate of Hannover. The modified lion is alluding to the Werlfen-kin, rulers of the electorate. The current version of the arms was created in 1948.
