Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on August 10, 1955.
Erichshagen was founded in 1535 around the castle of the Counts of Wölpe, who had their castle in the village from 1151-1300. The village received town rights and its new name in the late 16th century from Duke Erich of Calenberg. The old name, Wölpe, remained in use for a long time. The arms are show two bull horns, derived from the arms of the Counts of Wölpe.
