coat of arms

DEU SG Geestequelle COA.svg
 Blazon : "In silver (white) over a blue wavy bar a five-leaf green oak sprout."
Reasons for the coat of arms: The coat of arms awarded in 1974 reminds of the growing together of the five member communities with its five-leaf green oak sprout; at the same time, the oak sprout points to one of the largest contiguous forest areas, the Hinzel, in the Elbe-Weser triangle . The blue wave bar symbolizes the springing in the field of integrated municipality rivers Lune and Geeste and thus is also speaking for the joint community name.

traffic

The entire municipality is crossed by the B 71 and B 74 . The Hipstedt and Oerel stops are on the Bremerhaven – Buxtehude railway line in the joint municipality .
