Blankenhagen Coat of Arms

In a green field are two golden (= yellow) hatches crossed per saltire. Below are six blossoms of rape of the same colour ordered 3:2:1.
Meaning:
The mattocks are canting (Hagen ~= Hacken). The blossoms are symbolising agriculture, the main line of business. Their number is alluding to the size of land, which was gained by forest clearance in the middle ages. (6 Hufen ~= 450,000 sqm = 45 ha)
