Origin/meaning
The Counts of Oldenburg built around 1234 a castle, around which the village of Berne developed. The village historically belonged to the estate and municipality of Stedingen. Berne became a separate municipality after the Second World War.
As no historical arms were known, new arms were devised and granted on March 24, 1950. The upper half of the arms shows two horses, a symbol for the importance of horse breeding to the area for many centuries. The lower part shows a boat as a symbol for ship-building and sailing. The colours red, gold and blue are derived from the arms of the Counts of Oldenburg.
Literature : Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
