Meaning:
The municipality was first mentioned in 1270 as "Hale". The reed maces are symbolizing the former swamps in the area. Hohenfelde had a church for a long time symbolized by the church image, which is taken from an old church seal.

Description of flag:
The ratio is 3:5. It is an armorial flag.

Description of coat of arms:
In a green shield is a silver (= white) hill, each of the three peaks is crowned by a tree of the same colour. On the base the hill is superimposed by a red inescutcheon bearing a silver (= white) nettle leaf.
Meaning:
Horst is an arboreous height. Thus the image is canting. The shield of Holstein is added as a distinguishing mark, because there exists more than one municipality of the same name.

Description of flag:
The ratio is 3:5. It is an armorial flag. But the sun from the arms has just five rays.
Klaus-Michael Schneider, 27 Nov 2012
Description of coat of arms:
The shield is divided by black over silver (= white) bend sinister wavy. Below is a plain green field. Above in blue field is a golden (= yellow) sun issuant with nine rays.
Meaning:
The green colour is symbolizing the marshes, which existed only in the summer, until they had been permanently reclaimed by Dutch settlers. These marshes had been called "summer land", later it became the name of the village. The bend sinister is symbolizing the "black waters" coming down from the moraines and the "white waters" belonging to the marshes. The sun is a canting element symbolizing the summer.
