English | blazon wanted |
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted in 1976.
The arms combine features from the arms of the three former municipalities Warsingsfehn, Neermoor and Oldersum.
The waves are taken from the Oldersum coat of arms, symbolizing the proximity to the Ems river. The ship, which is an East Frisian Tjalk and is taken from the Warsingsfehn arms and stands for the centuries-long shipping tradition on the Ems and in the moors.
The two castle towers come from the Neermoor arms and are reminiscent of the castle that once stood there. However, since there were two castles in Oldersum in earlier times, but not in the other districts except Neermoor and Oldersum, the two towers could also stand for these two “castle locations”.
