HEIDE
State : Schleswig-Holstein
District (Kreis) : Dithmarschen (until 1970 Norderdithmarschen)
Official blazon
In Rot der barhäuptige, silbern gerüstete Ritter St. Jürgen, der auf dem Leib eines auf dem Rücken liegenden silbernen Drachens steht und seinen Speer in den Rachen desselben stößt. Rechts wird der Ritter von einem aufgerichteten Anker und links von einem Heidebüschel begleitet. Das Haar, der Gürtel, die Sporen und der Speer des Ritters, die Augen des Drachens, der Anker und die Wurzeln des Heidebüschels sind golden, während das Heidebüschel selbst grün und dessen Blüten lila tingiert sind.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on January 31, 1952.
The arms are based on the oldest known seal of the village, dating from 1461. The arms show the patron saint, St. George, killing the dragon, with in the upper left corner a bunch of heath, a canting symbol (Heide=heath).
Before 1952 Heide, which received city rights in 1869, used as arms the composition of the second seal, known since 1572. This seal showed an anchor, star, heath and a small cross, see image below. Old images of the arms of Heide, however, showed since the 16th century always the patron saint.
