coat of arms

Blazon : "In green, a lowered, narrow silver wave bar, above the silver facade of a mansion with a stair tower, raised by four silver beech leaves next to each other, the middle slightly raised."

The place name of the municipality of Bokhorst is derived from "Buchenghölz", which the four stylized beech leaves refer to. The main character is the manor house of the Bokhorst estate , which gives it its name, and the Wellenwaden refers to the Oberstenwehr district, an enclave belonging to the Bokhorst community , in which the Wilsterau runs as a border water. The color green represents the importance of agriculture in the community.
