JUIST
State : Niedersachsen
District (Kreis) : Aurich (until 1976 Norden)
Origin/meaning :
Juist is an island, which is symbolised by the dunes and the waves of the North Sea. The spurs are taken from the arms of Norden to symbolise the ties to this city.
The arms were granted in 1949 and were based on older, unofficial arms, which just showed the dunes.
