history

Wollingst had a close relationship with Beverstedt as early as the 17th century; it used to belong to the Beverstedt Börde and to the aristocratic court in Beverstedt. During the French period around 1810, the place was administered by the municipality of Beverstedt. Wollingst was in the office of Beverstedt from 1822 to 1859 and became a rural community in the Kingdom of Hanover in 1840 . Later a membership in the Amt Lehe (1859–1885), district Geestemünde (1885–1932), district Wesermünde (1932–1977) or district Cuxhaven can be proven. The Wollingst district was established in 1876. The former church lost its independence in 1974 and became a district of the borough Beverstedt in the Samtgemeinde Beverstedt . When the municipality of Beverstedt was reorganized on November 1, 2011, Wollingst became a locality within the meaning of the Lower Saxony Municipal Constitutional Act .

Coat of arms of Wollingst
 Blazon : "In Blue before an upscale, silver wave bar a golden oak leaves Three with two golden acorns on a stick."
Foundation of the coat of arms: The name Wollingst (1197 - Wollingstede) is interpreted as a forest site. The oak tri-leaf with acorns indicates the forest and the wavy bar indicates the small local stream, which is important for the village.
