KREMPERMOOR
State : Schleswig-Holstein
District (Kreis) : Steinburg
Amt : Amt Krempermarsch
Official blazon
In Silber über rotem Wellenschildfuß ein schmaler silberner und ein breiter blauer Wellenbalken, darüber eine grüne Birke, rechts davon eine rote auswärts geneigte Torfbackform, links ein roter Torfkätscher.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on September 16, 2002.
The base of the arms show the peat (moor) under the water in the region. The tree is a birch, a typical species found in the municipality. The two tools are both used for the peat mining, a net to collect the peat and a rack to shape and dry the pieces of peat. The peat in the region could only be reached by dregging the peat from below the water surface.
