Meaning:
The eagle is derived from the arms of the namesake hanseatic city. The barrulets wavy are alluding to the Elbe River and the swampy Wische landscape. The lozenges are representing the five municipalities of the collective municipality as follows: Aland, Altmärkische Höhe, Altmärkische Wische, Seehausen (hanseatic city) and Zehrental. The draft of the arms was made by Thomas Rystau.

Shield Argent, an eagle Gules armed Or, each claw accompanied by a water lily leaf Vert.
Meaning:
The eagle is taken from the arms of Brandenburg and appeared on local seals already in the 13th century. The meaning of the water lily leaves is not known, as despite of the name there had been no lake before 1975. The leaves are surely a distinguishing mark and are perhaps reminding on the serious floodings in previous centuries.
