ALT MÖLLN
State : Schleswig-Holstein
District (Kreis) : Herzogtum Lauenburg
Amt : Amt Breitenfelde
Official blazon
Über verkürztem, von Silber und Blau im Wellenschnitt geteiltem Wellenschildfuß in Grün eine goldene Windmühle (Galerieholländer), in der Höhe des Flügelkreuzes begleitet rechts von einem aufrecht stehenden goldenen Fass, links von einem gefüllten goldenen Sack.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on July 21, 1992.
The windmill (Mühle) is a canting symbol. Mills (not windmills, but watermills) were of great importance for the community in historical times. Nevertheless a windmill was chosen as a symbol, to distinguish the arms from the arms of nearby Mölln. There is a single, Dutch-style, windmill in the municipality, so the symbol was not that strange. The sack is a symbol for the produce made with the mills. The barrel is a salt-barrel, as the village is on a historical salt trading route.
The lower part of the arms shows the Elbe-Lübeck canal, on which the village is situated.
