history

Heerstedt is first mentioned in the 12th century. A bowl stone is described in more detail by the local home nurse. It can be viewed at the entrance to a potato and vegetable shop on the B 71. A well-known monument is the Heerstedt stone box .

The fire and praise day commemorates events in the village. One event happened on June 18, 1817 in Heerstedt: on that day, almost the entire village burned down. 50 of the 70 buildings in the village were quickly destroyed by flames. Extinguishing the fire was difficult because there wasn't enough water and because most of the 150 residents were working in the fields. In around three years, 20 buildings could be rebuilt. The day of praise goes back to the history of the Lohe district. The residents of Loher remember the sparing of the place during a violent thunderstorm. When the two places grew together after the Second World War, the Heerstedter Brandtag and the Loher Lobetag were merged.

Incorporations

Lohe and Dohren were originally independent communities and were incorporated into Heerstedt on April 1, 1929. In 1971, the municipality of Heerstedt became one of the nine member municipalities of the integrated municipality of Beverstedt .

Since November 1, 2011 Heerstedt has been a place in the unified municipality of Beverstedt.

Mayor

The mayor of Heerstedt is Manfred Tönjes ( CDU ). The term of office runs from 2016 to 2021.

coat of arms

The draft municipal coat of arms of Heerstedt comes from the heraldic coat of arms painter Albert de Badrihaye who designed in the district of Cuxhaven on the 80 coats of arms.

	Blazon : "In blue a golden hill topped with a black wooden bowl with decorative nailing , overlaid by three golden openwork diamonds in a bar position."
	Reasons for the coat of arms: The coat of arms reminds us that in 1938 a wooden bowl was found near Heerstedt in a burial mound from the older Bronze Age . The three diamonds as Odalsrunes point to the three districts: Lohe , Heerstedt and Dohren .

The wooden bowl was discovered with many other Bronze Age objects in the stone box of Heerstedt .
