Its arms were based on the old town arms. The five sepals of the rose were considered to represent the municipalities of Coppengrave, Duingen proper, Hoyershausen, Marienhagen and Weenzen.

Coat of Arms (version 1939):
Shield Azure, a dove statant Argent armed Or on top of a triplemount Vert issuant from base, in sinister chief a heraldic rose Argent barbed and seeded Or.
Meaning:
The oldest town seal from the 17th century with prints from the 18th century displayed a sinister facing dove on a hill with a branch in its beak. The name of the town was erroneously derived from "Duve" (= dove) and the bird was considered to be canting. The kind of branch in beak and the direction of the dove changed several times. The rose according to Ralf Hartemink was added in 1939 and was taken from the arms of the Lords of Duingen, whose family arms displayed three roses.
The former arms were approved in 1939 by Oberpräsident of Prussian Hannover Province.

Shield Gules, a ladder Or in bend with three vertical rungs.
Meaning:
The first seal from the 14th century with print from 1434 displays a saint, considered to be St. Matthew and St. Mary with Child, holding a staff crowned by a fleur-de-lis in her left hand. Secret seals display her sitting on a throne. Since the 17th century she appears issuant from a shield of the Bishopric of Hildesheim, which is parted per pale, superimposed by a bend as local symbol. The ladder appears first in 1705 on a weather vane, probably derived from the bend. In the late 19th century the ladder was displayed Argent on a shield parted per bend of Gules and Vert. The current colours, those of the Bishopric of Hildesheim, were fixed in 1940 by Oberpräsident of Prussian Hannover Province.

Shield Or with base wavy of Azure and Argent, issuant from base a stone bridge Gules masoned black with one arch, issuant from bridge a demi-eagle Sable armed and tongued Gules.
Meaning:
The name Brüggen is derived from Brughem and is alluding to the bridges (German: Brücken) across River Leine in the Middle Ages, when Brüggen was of great importance under the rule of the Saxonian Kings of Germany. The bridge is thus a canting element. King Otto the Great visited his estate Brughem several times between 936 and 937. Thus a modification of the Imperial Eagle was added to the arms in 1937 on occasion of the millennium festival of Brüggen. The flag colours are those of Lower Saxony.
The arms were approved on 13 June 1937 on occasion of the millennium festival.
