BÖRDE (BK)
State : Sachsen-Anhalt
Additions : 2007 Bördekreis (1994 Oschersleben (OC), Wanzleben (WZL)), Ohrekreis (1994 Haldersleben (1938 Neuhaldensleben), Wolmirstedt)
Origin/meaning :
The arms were granted on August 8, 2007.
The arms are based on stone, discovered in 1874 in the region, showing a knight. The stone probably dates from around 800 and symbolises the fact that the present district corresponds to the medieval region Ostfalen. The knight thus symbolises Ostfalen.
A similar design, but with a different origin, was used by the former district of Neuhaldensleben.
