State : Niedersachsen
District (Kreis) : Cuxhaven (until 1977 Wesermünde)
Incorporated into : 1978 Beverstedt
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The arms show in the base the Lune river in the municipality. The upper half symbolises the nine prehistoric axe blades that were found in 1858 near the village. These thus indicate the long inhabitation of the area.
