history
The community was formed on January 1, 2015 from the communities of Cappel , Dorum , Midlum , Misselwarden , Mulsum , Nordholz , Padingbüttel and Wremen . The joint municipality of Land Wursten , to which all municipalities except Nordholz belonged, was dissolved on the same date. The background to the merger was the financial weakness of the municipalities; there were liquidity loans in the amount of 36.8 million euros. All municipalities involved had agreed to the merger, which should enable a reduction in administrative costs. The state of Lower Saxony had also promised interest and repayment assistance in the amount of 27.6 million euros. The administration of the new community is partly in Dorum, partly in Nordholz.

|
|
Blazon : " Split , at the front of the split in gold a half red - armored black eagle , behind over a green shield base , in it an upright golden clover leaf , a silver wave bar , in red a silver fir tree ." |
| Justification of the coat of arms: The half eagle, which can be found in many Frisian coats of arms, indicates the importance of the free Frisian country sausages. The fir tree as a symbol for wood and forest refers to the place name of the former municipality of Nordholz, which was merged with the joint municipality of Land Wursten to form the new unified municipality. The silver wave bar is intended to indicate the beach and bathing tourism. The golden shamrock in the green shield base symbolizes the fertile marshes in the municipality. |
