coat of arms

The design of the municipal coat of arms of Marschkamp comes from the heraldist and coat of arms painter Albert de Badrihaye , who designed around 80 coats of arms in the district of Cuxhaven.

	Blazon : "In blue, two golden ears of corn between two silver oak branches placed in a half-wreathover a silver bar with a wave cut ."
	Justification of the coat of arms: The two ears of corn remind us that there were only two farms in Marschkamp in the 16th century. The oak branches are symbols of the forest, and the wave-cut beam indicates the Geeste .
