Katensen was first recorded in 1265 in the Document Bishop Otto of Hildesheim, in September 2015 it celebrated its 750th Birthday.[2]
The coat of arms is divided into three parts. In the upper blue field it contains two crossed scythes (as a reference to agriculture), below that in a yellow field a blue red-armored Brunswick lion (because of the affiliation to the former Brunswick-Lüneburg region). The final part is a blue field rounded off towards the bottom with a silver old Germanic wolf's tang as a reminder of the affiliation to the district of Burgdorf.
