RATEKAU
State : Schleswig-Holstein
District (Kreis) :Ostholstein (until 1970 Eutin)
Official blazon
Über blauem Schildfuß, darin eine goldene Garbe, in Gold rechts eine grüne Eiche, an der unten ein silberner Stein lehnt, links eine eintürmige silberne Kirche mit roten Dächern; darüber zwei auswärts geneigte schwarze Ähren.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on September 12, 1946.
The arms show the local church, which has a typical architecture, and which construction started around 1200. The oak is the so-called Blücher-oak, which was planted to remember the capitulation of General Blücher to Napoleon on November 7, 1806. The wheatears symbolise the agriculture in the municipality.
