Looks like a wedding candelabrum. As Thorsten says I would guess the motif is joining of the shields from the area's the couple come from, male on right lady on left. The piece comes from the Dithmarschen area so have a hunt around for shields of that area for starters.
Did you work out what the 'Aue' is on the bottom? Maker, town or something else?

Well, Aue is accually a towns name (there are several scattered around the country) and a surname but I think the jury is still out on the meaning of that.

I really like the MEHT candle holder. The one posted by Thorsten however looks like a child made it, no offense.
Speaking of candle holders, the one I just picked up is simply above and beyond great craftmanship. Pictures doesn't do it justice and the size of it just give it that extra thing. I can't take my eyes of it.
