Coat-of-arms: The green of grassland and meadows as well as the seed in spring is the basic colour of the agricultural village of Ahnebergen. The black stork in the upper part indicates that nature is in good order and the Lower Saxon half-timbered house with crossed horse's heads and the large spikes are further symbols for the agricultural origin of the village and diverse livestock breeding. The curved stalk leave forms together with the spikes the 'A' for Ahnebergen. The curved white band depicts the river Aller, which also forms the life since the start of the settlement due to the danger of flooding.

History:
The name 'Ahnebergen' means elevation in the swamp. The settlement is located on an elevation in the ancient river valley of the Aller. The water table is still high today.
Estimated time of settlement from 4000 to 2000 BC by finds (stone axe and hand grinding stone).
From 1912 onwards deepening of a mine for winning potash with two pits 'Alicenhall' and 'Glücksborn'. Cutback of digging and deepening during and after the First World War. Closure and liquidation 1921/1926.
The pits still exist today. Today the only reminder of the uncompleted day facilities are the former pithead baths and administration buildings as well as two residences.
At the end of the 2nd World War the village caught fire through shooting by the British in April 1945.
In 1960 the Aller dike is being elevated, a pumping station is put into operation.
In 1972 the community lost its independence during the local government reform and is being merged with other communities by the state law to the new community Dörverden.
An extensive depiction of the history is available in the book 'Ahnebergen, Die Geschichte eines Dorfes', which was published by the Ernteclub in 1994.
