![[Boostedt municipal flag]](../images/d/de-se-07-bo.gif)
3:5
image by Jörg Majewski, 25 Jun 2006
Description of flag:
The ratio is 3:5. It is an armorial flag.
Klaus-Michael Schneider, 24 Jan 2013
Description of coat of arms:
Between two golden beech leaves in a blue shield is a silver (= white) bend sinister, superimposed by nine red bricks. The 1st and the last brick disappear outside the shield's edge.
Meaning:
The nine bricks are symbolizing the nine brickyards, that existed in the village in 1737. Manufacturing of bricks had been an important, traditional business line in Boostedt. The bend is symbolizing the "Via Regia", i.e. the king's highway, which released economic pulses and on the other hand gave twice the opportunity of plundering during the 30-Years-War by troops marching through the village. The leaves are symbolizing the Boostedter Berge, a recreation area.

Description of coat of arms:
The red shield is divided by a silver (= white) bend sinister wavy. Above right is the silver (= white) logo of Diakonisches Werk, a Lutheran charity and missionary organization. Below left is a plough of the same colour.
Meaning:
The bend wavy ist he Rothenmühlenau, a local creek flowing between both major settlement cores of Fehrenbötel and Rickling proper. The chief administration of the Lutheran organization and many others of its institutions are located in Rickling, symbolized by the logo, within source denoted as "Kronenkreuz" (= crowned cross). The Lutheran church is also a big employer. The other business line is agriculture, symbolized by the plough.
