Grenzbach between Mühlen- and Lohbarbek is in parts of the Ihlenbek , which could be the originally eponymous Berbeke .

coat of arms

Blazon : "In silver a lowered, oblique left blue wave bar, accompanied above by a frontal, harnessed red ox head, below by a red oak branch consisting of a leaf and two acorns."

Following the interpretation of the name, the community added an oak branch to represent the grove and a blue wavy bar for the stream in its coat of arms. Two of the three heraldic figures refer to the place name "talking". As a farming village, Lohbarbek was characterized by agriculture , in particular livestock farming, which has remained significant to this day. The ox head in the coat of arms represents both the past and the present economic basis of the community.
