Peat coat-of-arms
Image Copyright: Verlag Temmen
In some village coat-of-arms the former peat cutting is being remembered, the hard work of the ancestors in the moor being honoured. The coat-of-arms of the community Itzstedt shows in the upper right third on red ground a 'broken peat spade'. Broken probably symbolically: Peat turves are not any more cut.
Kayhude's coat-of-arms is totally committed to the peat. With a peat barge leaden with 'black peat freight' and an 'askew standing peat spade'. In the past peat barges brought peat turves to Hamburg on the river Alster.
