Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on February 19, 2019.

The five trees symbolise the five settlements in the municipality, Groß Nordsee, Frauendamm, Möglin, Klein Königsförde and Krummwisch. The crown refers to the Königsförde, a place where, according to legend, King Valdemar of Denmark crossed the Eider river in 1227. The deer is a canting element for Wilhelm Hirschfeld (Hirsch=deer), owner of the Groß Nordsee Estate at the early 19th century.
