Coat of arms

The coat of arms of Uhry was officially accepted by the district president of Lüneburg in 1960. The background is green with a diagonal white stripe divided into two parts by a green line crossed by a diagonal wavy white stripe. In the angles of these are (top) an acorn, on each side are oak leaves, and (bottom) an ear of wheat. The stripes represent the Uhrau stream and the Autobahn A2. The rest of the coat indicates that Uhry is surrounded by forests and arable land.

Sand extraction

A large sand quarry lies in the northeast of Uhry. About 50 million years ago a river delta existed there, and much grit and sand were deposited. The sands are almost 100 percent quartz crystal and are used in the production of microchips.
