coat of arms

Blazon : “Lowered divided by gold and blue. At the top three upright green oak leaves side by side, the middle one with two acorns, at the bottom at the division an eight-spoke silver mill wheel below. "

Of particular importance for the place since was medieval water mill on the Bollingstedter Au with the expanded mill pond, probably as part of a castle should be considered. The half mill wheel in the coat of arms of Bollingstedt refers both to the mill itself and to its first verifiable owner. It also characterizes the municipality of Bollingstedt in that the most recent expansion of the town north of the mill pond has taken place. The acorns and oak leaves refer to the district of Gammellund. The part of the name “gammel” means “old” and “lund” in Danish for “ forest , grove ”. Gammellund thus describes an "old forest", and this is the oak forest that still exists in the municipality today.
