Origin/meaning

The defense tower commemorates the founding of the village. The local town hall and church were built from the material from the tower, which was demolished in 1733. The cross shows that Beedenbostel has an old church. The horse is taken from the seal of the Amt Beedenbostel and creates a connection to the history of the village, which has always been known for its horse breeding.

The oak leaf refers to the village hall "Unter den Eichen", made from an oak wood.
