coat of arms

Blazon : "In blue under three five-pointed golden stars in the position 1: 2 a golden wooden bridge supported on both sides by stone plinths, including eight golden wave crests in the position 2: 3: 3."

The district of Hörup is crossed by the water-rich Schafflunder Au and next to it by numerous small floodplains. These natural conditions, which were disadvantageous for smooth traffic connections, made it necessary to build bridges in the vicinity of the place at an early stage. In 1769 decreed King Christian VII . the construction of three bridges; today there are a total of eight crossings in the municipality. The main character of the coat of arms indicates the characteristic buildings, the number of which is indicated by the figure eight of the wave crests. The neighboring Spölbek has been incorporated into the village of Hörup since 1871, the year the community was founded, as have the Bärenshöft and Neu-Hörup residential areas. These three districts are represented by the three stars in the coat of arms. The blue color of the shield indicates the advantages and disadvantages of a water-rich region in which, on the one hand, the meadows are protected from drying out in summer and, on the other hand, it is not uncommon for floods to reach into the houses.

economy

The community is predominantly agricultural, with wind energy now also playing a major role.
