Shield Gules, on top of a mount issuant Argent a linden of the same, flanked at dexter by a dove volant of the same and at sinister by a 6-spokes wheel of the same.
Meaning:
Local seals from the end of the 19th century displayed a similar pattern, but they displayed not the wheel but a shrub. Nöda was first mentioned in 1308 within the parish register of the St. Severin Parish in Erfurt. The mount is representing the Nödaer Warthe, the highest point of the municipality 192m above sea level. The wheel is alluding to the fact that the city of Erfurt owned a local monastery and some estates. Lindens are typical local trees and a big tree of that kind stands on the mountain mentioned above. The dove is a symbolof reconciliation and a representation of the Holy Spirit.

Shield parted per pale; at dexter Gules a sword Argent in pale; at sinister parted per fess, above Argent a bird statant Vert on top of a mount of the same, beneath Argent a grindstone Azure.
Meaning:
Bird (German: Vogel) and mount (German: Berg) together are canting. That ensemble was already displayed on village seals from the 18th century. The stone and its blue colour are alluding to the production of a blue tincture made from woad (Latin: Isatis tinctoria). The sword is symbolising the existence
of a court, which had been in the village for centuries.
