MIDLUM
State : Niedersachsen
District (Kreis) : Cuxhaven (until 1977 Wesermünde)
Samtgemeinde : Samtgemeinde Land Wursten
Origin/meaning
The crozier symbolises that Midlum in medieval times belonged to the local monastery, which was later moved to Altenwalde and Neuenwalde. The monastery played a major role in the development of the area. In medieval times Midlum also was an important marketplace, which is symbolised by the scales. The two wheatears in the lower half of the arms symbolise that the main source of income for the village at the moment is agriculture.
