LABENZ
State : Schleswig-Holstein
District (Kreis) : Herzogtum Lauenburg
Amt : Amt Sandesneben-Nusse (until 2008 Amt Sandesneben)
Official blazon
Von Silber und Blau gespalten. Vorn eine rote Windmühle mit spitzer Kuppel und fünf blauen Flügeln, hinten ein golden bewehrter, kampfbereiter silberner Schwan.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on August 21, 1995.
There have been numerous windmills in the town until 1865 when the last wooden windmill burned down. The new mill was made of metal instead of wood and had the very unusual number of five wings, instead of four. The mill was torn down before the first World War. One of the main dikes in the area was know as the milldike or swandike. From the latter name the swan was taken as a symbol.
