Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on June 30, 1969.
The arms are based on a seal dating from 1578 of the regional Desum court or Gogericht, which was held in the town. The church is the church of Vechta, the trees are a linden tree, symbol of justice, and a hawthorn. The ball on a chain is a Desum-Knop, I have no idea what it means.
The colours are the colours of the Counts of Vechta-Ravensberg, to which the area historically belonged.
Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
