HALSTENBEK

District (Kreis) : Pinneberg
Official blazon
In Gold auf schwarzem Schildfuß, darin ein silberner Wellenbalken, drei grüne Tannen, die mittlere etwas höher als die beiden anderen, mit goldenen, in den Schildfuß hinabreichenden Wurzeln.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on October 21, 1969.
The arms are based on an older logo of the municipality. The three pine trees symbolise the large tree nursery in the municipality, one of the largest in the world. The small wavy bar in the base of the shield is canting, Bek is stream in the local dialect.
