HARSEFELD
State : Niedersachsen
District (Kreis) : Stade
Additions : 1972 Hollenbeck, Issendorf, Ruschwedel
Samtgemeinde : Samtgemeinde Harsefeld
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted in 1948.
The knight is derived from the 19th century seal of the town, which showed a knight on a horse. The origin of the knight is not known, it may be that the original symbol was a horse, a canting element (from Harse=Horse). It has also been stated that the knight symbolises the 12th century Counts of Stade.
The roses are a canting element, as the name most likely is derived from a word for rose, not for horse. It is also a symbol for the Rosenfeld Abbey in the town, which played a major role in the local history.
Hupp showed rather different arms in the 1920s:

The arms shown above were identical to the arms of the Rosenfeld Abbey and used by the Amt (district) of Harsefeld until the late 18th century.
