Samtgemeinde : Samtgemeinde Hesel

Official blazon

• (de) In Silber über grünen mit einen goldenen Posthorn belegtem Schildfuss 3 grüne Tannenbäume.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on March 12, 1968.

The largest forest in Ostfriesland and the Leer district, the Heseler Wald, is situated in the municipality, which is symbolised by the pine trees. Hesel is situated on a junction of several historical postal routes, one from Aurich to Leer, the other from Bremen to Holland. A large postal station thus existed in the village, which is symbolised by the post horn in the arms.
