coat of arms
On November 3, 1970, the council of the municipality of Itterbeck decided to adopt the coat of arms described below, designed by the heraldist Hans Heinrich Reclam from Osnabrück .
Description of the coat of arms : "In gold, a green wave oblique left bar, with three green balls from above and four below."
Reason: The colors allude to the first part of the place name (Itter = heather), the sand and the vegetation. The wavy inclined left bar embodies the stream contained in the name of the community. The spheres that also appear in the coat of arms of the district and some neighboring towns (as so-called “Bentheimer Pfennigs”) have been moved to the very edge here, to indicate the location of Itterbeck near the border. Their number corresponds to the districts of Itterbeck.
Education and Social
There is a primary school in Itterbeck . All secondary schools are located in the neighboring town of Uelsen . There were two play groups in the community for the smaller children: in Itterbeck the play group "Wonneproppen" and in Egge the "Egger dwarfs", which in 2012 were combined to form a kindergarten in the newly built community center . Since 2001 there has also been a separate group in Egge, in which children from the age of 2½ are looked after. For the elderly, there is an independent youth club on site, as well as afternoon groups for children organized by the YMCA and the Reformed parish.
Freetime activities
Itterbeck has extensive cycling and hiking trails that lead either through the village or through the entire Niedergrafschaft. Popular excursion destinations are the "Egger Riese", the Itterbecker Heide and the Itter springs.
