geography
The city of Quickborn is located about 20 kilometers northwest of Hamburg, on the eastern edge of the Pinneberg district , which is also the largest municipality in terms of area. The city is located on the federal highway 7 between Hamburg and Neumünster . Quickborn is integrated into the transport network of the Hamburg Transport Association via the Hamburg-Altona-Neumünster railway line of the AKN suburban railway and bus lines . To the northwest of Quickborn is the Himmelmoor , the largest raised bog in Schleswig-Holstein (approx. 605 hectares). It has been used for peat extraction for a long time . For this purpose, a narrow-gauge railway was built through the moor. South of the city is the 110 hectare Holmmoor nature reserve . Quickborn is divided into three districts. In addition to the town center, there is the more village-like Quickborn-Renzel and Quickborn-Heide , which mainly consists of single-family housing estates and an important industrial area.

coat of arms
The coat of arms was approved on April 19, 1958.
The blazon reads: "In red on a silver fountain post that grows out of the middle of a rectangular, bricked silver fountain basin and sends a stream of water in an arch into the basin, a seated golden owl in front view, accompanied by two silver sea leaves."
The central figure of the fountain in the coat of arms of the municipality of Quickborn is the "talking" symbol for the place name. This namely means "living spring" or "rapidly gushing spring". The fountain in the coat of arms refers to the artificially created "Born". The place, first mentioned in 1369, was located on one of the main trading routes, the Heerweg or Ochsenweg. This artery was of particular importance because for centuries herds of cattle were driven from Jutland to Hamburg on it. At the “Uhlenkrog” tavern in Quickborn, people and animals rested on their way through. The owl is in the coat of arms to commemorate this inn, which made the place famous beyond its borders. The two sheets of the lake represent the two large bodies of water in the municipality, the “Groten See” and the “Lütten See”. The colors predominantly used in the coat of arms are red and silver to emphasize the affiliation to Holstein.
The coat of arms was designed by the Brunsbüttel heraldist Willy "Horsa" Lippert .
flag
The flag was approved on January 5, 1979.
Description: "In the middle of a white flag cloth bordered by a red stripe at the top and bottom, the city coat of arms, slightly shifted towards the pole."

- The Hanseatic work AG has its headquarters here as well.
