The coat of arms consists of a crowned shield with blue, gold, and silver elements, which refer to the abbey Palmar and the Wedderborg.
[1] The coat of arms of the new municipality was adopted by Royal Decree on 22 April 1969.
The azure gyrons contain a fleur-de-lis or pointing outward from the escutcheon's center.
[3] The coat of arms of Bellingwolde had an image of Palmar, a nearby Premonstratensian abbey that disappeared in the Dollard in 1520.
[4] This image was also not used, instead the escutcheon of the coat of arms of Georg Schenck van Toutenburg, a 16th-century lord of the Wedderborg, was used as the inescutcheon of the coat of arms of Bellingwedde.
