coat of arms

Blazon : "In blue a slanted, silver flying fish over two silver wave threads in the base of the shield."

The symbol chosen for the coat of arms can be traced back to both historical and geographical conditions. The "flying fish" is quoted almost literally from the Brockdorff coat of arms. This old noble family probably had their ancestral home in this church village and named themselves after them. The waves in the base of the shield show the proximity of the village in the Wilstermarsch on the dike to the Elbe . The good marshland made a profitable agriculture possible , the proximity to the water a modest shipping traffic. The blue color of the shield represents the water.
