Boostedt Municipal Coat of Arms

Between two golden beech leaves in a blue shield is a silver (= white) bend sinister, superimposed by nine red bricks. The 1st and the last brick disappear outside the shield's edge.
Meaning:
The nine bricks are symbolizing the nine brickyards, that existed in the village in 1737. Manufacturing of bricks had been an important, traditional business line in Boostedt. The bend is symbolising the "Via Regia", i.e. the king's highway, which released economic pulses and on the other hand gave twice the opportunity of plundering during the 30-Years-War by troops marching through the village. The leaves are symbolising the Boostedter Berge, a recreation area.
