SILLENSTEDE
State : Niedersachsen
District (Kreis) : Friesland
Incorporated into : 1972 Schortens
Official blazon
Zweimal geteilt: oben in Blau nebeneinander drei goldene gesprenkelte Kiebitzeier; in der Mitte in Gold zwei übereinander liegende blaue aalförmige Fische; unten in Rot ein goldener dreifüssiger Topf.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on February 19, 1951.
The upper part shows three lapwing eggs, the lapwing is a very common bird in the area. The two eel-like fist are European weatherfish (Putaale; Misgurnus fossilis), a common fish in the marshlands in the municipality.
The pot in the base is a symbol for the Bronze Age findings and therefore for the longtime inhabitation of the region.
The colours are those of the former Oldenburg county, to which the region historically belonged.
