In Silber ein aufspringender schwarzer Hirschbock über einer roten heraldischen Rose mit grünen Butzen und grünen Kelch blättern Origin/meaningThe rose is derived from the arms of the Lords of Todendorp, who had several estates in the area. The deer is a canting element for the old name of the village, Hinthbergen (Hinth=Hirsch=deer). However, a second explanation mentions that the arms and name are derived from a knight "Hindtberg". A third explanation for the name is "Hinter den Bergen" (behind the mountains). Literature: Information provided by the Samtgemeinde Bevensen and Ulf Heinrich, Himbergen |
