OSTERODE AM HARZ
Origin/meaning:
The arms were granted on July 4th, 1936
The arms show the lions of the Welfen family in the lower part and
the arms of Hannover in the upper part. The main part of the district was
the Principality of Grubenhagen, that was ruled by a branch of the Welfen
family. The whole principality became later part of the Kingdom of Hannover.
