Geeste municipality

The municipality Geeste resulted from the voluntary merger of the former municipalities Klein Hesepe and Gross Hesepe to the municipality Gross Hesepe  (7 January 1968), Dalum, Geeste and Osterbrock (2 January 1971) to the municipality Geeste and by  the incorporation of Gross Hesepe, Bramhar and Varloh (3 January 1974) and Bienerfeld-North (4 January 1974) into the municipality Geeste. All former separate municipalities, now incorporates in the municipality of Geeste, are situated to the west or east of the  Ems river.
Therefore a white sloping creek is in the coat of arms and alludes to the Ems flowing through the municipality Geeste.
