The community lies on the edge of Schleswig-Holstein marsh on the back of a dune system that draws as former riparian zone of the North Sea in the south-western Schleswig -Holstein. On this " white, sandy Wurth " the first settlers built, protected from the flooding of the North Sea, their first homes, which were just like the surrounding sea reclaimed marshland dominated by agriculture over the centuries. The vertical division emblem with the double color change between silver and green symbolizes the geologically significant situation between the sea and the mainland. A gable constant, typical in this region farmhouse on a hill (Wurth ) refers to the place name Wittenwurth. The crossed oak leaves indicate that, on the edge of the march were formerly extensive mixed oak forests.
