Origin/meaning

The arms were granted in 1949 and are based on a seal dating from 1852 of the then Amt Langenhagen of the Kingdom of Hannover. The lion is derived from the lion of the Welfen dynasty, who ruled the region in medieval times. The wreath was added to make the lion look as the crest of the family and to distinguish the arms form similar arms of municipalities in the region.

Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
