history

The name "Hollingstedt" (the spelling has changed several times over the centuries) means something like "Ort am Gehölz", which means the formerly much more extensive farm forest west of the village. Forest used to be a rarity in Dithmarschen , so that the name “Ort am Gehölz” was unmistakable.

coat of arms

Blazon : "In gold under a narrow blue wavy bar, a black spade between two green, crossed, leafy oak branches."

For the preparation of the arms, a several hundred years old seal of the former "was used as a basis peasantry Hollingstette" used. The blue wavy bar in the upper third symbolizes the location of the village near the Eider and Wallener Au. The golden color of the coat of arms represents agriculture as the original livelihood of the village. The green oak branches represent the Hollingstedter wood . This former commercial forest is unique for the area in northern Dithmarschen. The spade in the middle of the coat of arms is an indication of the second typical terrain form: the moor . This was managed by peat extraction until the middle of the 20th century. Since this was largely done by hand, the usual tool was the spade.
