The shield is Argent. Issuant from a base Vert is an oak tree Vert with three acorns Or, the stem is charged with a pair of scales Or, superimposed by sword Argent hilted Or and pointing to base.
Meaning:
The municipality's name is derived from Ekelege (1350) or Eek-lage (= oak ground). The oak is thus canting. The acorns are representing the former municipalities Groß Eicklingen, Klein Eicklingen and Sandlingen. Sword and scales here are symbolizing, that Eicklingen had been seat of a court.
