Meaning:
Primer and quill are representing Bargfeld, where since 1688 existed a private school for everybody, especially also the peasants' children. The boat is symbolising Stegen and the Alster-Trave-Canal, built between 1525 and 1529, which connected Hamburg and Lübeck and crossed Stegen. The wavy borderline is symbolising the Alster River.

Klaus-Michael Schneider, 19 Feb 2013
The shield is divided by a silver (= white) bend sinister into blue over red. Above right is a flying, silver (= white) crane. Below left is a lorry of the same colour.
Meaning:
The bend is symbolising the Alster-Trave-Canal. The other elements have to do with the local upland moor. Today it is a nature reserve and a synctuary for cranes, symbolised by the bird. In the past it had been a source of fuel, symbolised by the lorry. Lorries had been used for the transport of peat, which was shipped down the canal.

Meaning:
The saltire is symbolising crossroads. In their intersection point an oak of peace has been planted. The hourglass as a symbol of death (German: Tod) is considered to be canting, although the name is derived from a person named Todo. The swan is symbolising the affiliation with Stormarn. Red and silver are the colours of Stormarn and Holstein as well.

The shield is divided per fess into blue over silver (= white). Above are three golden (= yellow) ears of grain. Below is a red, masoned, embattled bridge.
Meaning:
The bridge is representing all the bridges of the municipality including a railway bridge and is furthermore a symbol of solidarity of the locals with the expellees from eastern Germany after WW2. The pinnacles are alluding to Tremsbüttel Palace. When count Christian of Stolberg was headman of the historical subcounty (1777-1800), many poets, philosophers and statesmen were guests in the palace. The ears are symbolising agriculture. Their number is symbolising the settlement cores of Tremsbüttel proper, Sattenfelde and Vorburg. The colours are those of the arms of Schleswig-Holstein.
