Description of coat of arms:
In the green shield is a silver (= white) linden tree with crosswise intertwined branches. In a hole in the middle is a magpie in natural colour. The shield has a silver (= white) base superimposed by two green oak leaves and a green acorn. Base and rest are divided by an embowed line.
Meaning:
The embowed line is symbolizing the Broklandsau, a local creek. The oak leaves in the base are symbolizing a square surrounded by old oak trees. In its centre is a T-shaped bar suitable for birds to sit down here and erected by the Papagoyengilde "Einigkeit" von 1621 (parrots guild "Union"). The linden tree is symbolizing the Dithmarsian marvel tree. Due to old maps the tree stood in Süderheistedt. Due to a prophecy the tree should bloom as long as the Dithmarsians could keep their freedom, Thus it was also a freedom tree. When Dithmarschen was subdued in 1559 the tree withered. Due to a legend Dithmarschen would regain its freedom, when a magpie, having five nestlings, would breed in the treetop and the tree would bloom again. But as the tree had disappeared, that never happened. The municipality had planted a seedling and and the coat of arms is a symbol of the accomplishment of the second prophecy.

Cycling towards the Danish-German border, I saw the flag of Tellingstedt, blue fly 3/5 with 4 flywise white stripes. On the hoist a gold St. Martin, the blade of the sword silver, outside of the coat red. The hoistward 2/5 of the flag are effectively a banner-of-arms, see this webpage. Tellingstedt is the seat of KLG Tellingstedt subcounty, an administrative unit consisting of several small communes, in Dithmarschen county.

Description of coat of arms:
In a blue shield is St. Martin issuant. The naked parts of his body are golden (= yellow), hair and armour are golden (= yellow). He holds a silver (= white) sword dividing his red coat.
Meaning:
Tellingstedt is one of the four oldest parishes in Dithmarschen. The parish church is dedicated to St. Martin. He is depicted here in an unusual pose without horse and beggar. The medieval seals of Tellingstedt parish don't show him as a Roman soldier but as bishop of Tour. In the Renaissance St. Martin was replaced on the seals by Our Lady with Infant Jesus. The subcounty function was a continuation of the parishes in Dithmarschen, which also had civil functions.
