Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on ?
The new arms are divided in the middle by an "S" - shaped branch of a rose hip plant. The "S" stands for the first letter of the Schipkau municipality. The rose hip plant as a regionally native plant, which has increasingly spread again in the recultivated areas, also symbolizes the merger of the 6 former municipalities, shown as six rose hip fruits.
The miner's tools symbolize the tradition of mining in the municipality in the past.
The start and finish flag stands for the development of the community of Schipkau with the aim of developing tourism and the resulting strengthening of the local economy and including the EuroSpeedway Lausitz, which is located in the municipality.
Before the merger Schipkau used rather different arms, see below.
