Origin/meaning
Dankersen has always been an agricultural village. Unlike in neighboring Niedersachsen, where the house gables were decorated with horse heads, the farmhouses in Dankersen had a gable post as a gable ornament. This peculiarity therefore appears in the arms.
The oak leaf stands for the Hasenkamp area. Hasenkamp was originally an independent place and was first mentioned a century earlier as Dankersen (1090). In later documents the location appears as "Hasenkamp bei Dankersen". Only very small remains of the oak forest that once surrounded the settlement have survived to this day.
The presence of the goat in the arms goes back to a story involving local pastor Albert Lortzing. During his tenure in office from 1856 to 1880, Pastor Lortzing shaped and changed the life of the citizens in a very strict way. Dance events of any kind were strictly forbidden. In the event of violations, the pastor intervened personally. Many young men did not put up with this in the long run. When Pastor Lortzing once only managed to dissolve a dance event with great difficulty, he is said to have described these men in his sermon on the following Sunday as "horny goats" (geile Böcke). This saying spread at lightning speed in the nearby towns. There the term "Geilbockshausen" was coined, which has not changed to this day as the nickname for Dankersen.
