Coat of arms

In a silver (=white) shield is a black statant stag with golden (= yellow) antlers and covered by a red blanket divided by a silver (=white) indented line. Upon the base are four black wavy fesses.
Meaning:
According to source the stag is alluding to the Bodendieke family, who died out with the Baltic branch in 19th century. Bodenteich was the origin of the family, who erected a castle in the 13th century and sold it to the Dukes of Lüneburg in 14th century. The wavy fesses are alluding to lake Bodenteich, today a mere swamp but a real lake in the middle ages.

Meaning:
The village was first mentioned in 1289 by a treaty between the Ulessen Monastery (Oldenstadt) and the Duke of Braunschweig-Lüneburg as "Saltendike". The grain ears are representing the eight settlement cores of the incorporated municipalities and Soltendieck itself. The tools are referring to the local salt refinery.

Coat of Arms:
In a silver (=white) shield is a prancing black unicorn facing the right side. In the red chief are two silver (=white) crossed shelves ending in horseheads.
Meaning:
The family of Grothe was living in Wrestedt since 1666. In their coat of arms had been two black unicorns. The current unicorn is taken from that coat of arms. The tail of the unicorn is split up into three ends symbolising the local families of Wresterstede,Bardendieck and Grothe. About the horseheads there is known nothing special. Horseheads however are used on top of the gables of Lower Saxonian farmhouses up to now. Wrestedt had been a comprehensive municipality until 1 November 2011, when it merged with former communes of Stadensen and Wieren.
