Rodewald - Coat of Arms

Coat of Arms

The coat of arms consists of an owl perched on a clerestory window aperture, surrounded by stone. The motive of the owl originates from a small stone owl which can be found in the spire Rodewald's main church, St Aegidien.

It was approved in 1960 as a symbol of the Mittlere Bauernschaft parish by the regional president of Hanover and in 1969 adopted to represent the village as a whole.

Famous quotes containing the words coat and/or arms:

    When every Sunday afternoon
    On the Green Lands I walk
    And wear a coat in fashion,

    Of hen wives and of queer old men
    Brace me and make me strong....
