FELDE

State : Schleswig-Holstein
District : Rendsburg-Eckernförde
Amt : Achterwehr

Official blason:
Erhöht geteilt von Silber und Blau. Oben ein roter Räderpflug, unten ein silbernes Dreiblatt, dessen Mittelpunkt eine silberne Knospe bildet.

Origin/meaning:
The arms were granted on July 21, 1992.

The upper part shows a plough, as agriculture is still the mail source of income for the village and has been so for many centuries.
Felde belonged until 1806 to the Klein Nordsee estate. The lower part shows the arms of the Schwabe family, who owned the estate. The figure is described as three leaves and a button, but the origin of the figure is not known.

Literature : Peters, 1974
