Wolfenbüttel Coat of Arms

Shield Azure a column Gules crowned Or and above an impending 6-point star Argent, over all a horse salient Argent, saddled and brideled Sable.
Meaning:
The arms display more or less the crest of the helmet in the greater arms of the Dukes of Braunschweig. Saadle and bridle were added, the peacock feathers were omitted. The greater city arms had two angels as supporters, at dexter red and golden, the tinctures of the Welfen kin, at sinister Argent and Sable, the tinctures of the Hohenzollern kin, to which the Duchess Hedwig belonged.

Halchter Coat of Arms

Shield parted per pale of Gules and Or, a deciduos tree in counterchanged tinctures with three leaves.
Meaning:
The tinctures are tose of the Duchy of Braunschweig and the Bishopric of Hildesheim as well. The tree is somehow canting, as the name of the municipality originally meant "the Holy Tree". The number of leaves is representing the three settlements on the spot, the first from the Neolithic Age, the second from the late Roam Empire and the following Migration period, the third the current one, proven since 1149.
