Wappen von Loxstedt/Arms (crest) of Loxstedt

The arms show three nails and three rises. The nails are taken from the canting arms of the local noble family Nagel, who participated in the foundation of the church of Loxsted in 1371. The roses are the symbol of St. Mary, the patron saint of the church.
