Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on July 17, 1974.

The quartering of the arms symbolises the four former municipalities that merged to form Norderstedt. The star symbolises the new city and prosperous future. Together with the fleur-de-lis it forms a compass, pointing north, making it a canting symbol (Nord=north).
