Von Blau und Grün durch einen schmalen goldenen Wellenbalken gesenkt geteilt. Oben ein goldenes Steingrab aus drei Tragsteinen und einem Deckenstein, belegt mit einer roten Mitra. In den Oberecken rechts von einem kleinen goldenen Amboss, links von einem kleinen goldenen Schlüssel begleitet.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on December 5, 2002.

The main symbol in the arms is the prehistoric grave (monolith) in the village of Stenderup named the Poppostein. The monument is shown with three smaller and one large stone, symbolising the merger of the three former municipalities. The name Poppostein (Poppo's stone) is derived from the missionary Bishop Poppo who in the area of the present municipality baptised the Danish King Harald Bluetooth (around 900 AD). The mitre is the symbol for Bishop Poppo.The anvil is a canting symbol for Süderschmedeby, as it can be translated as the 'southern village of balcksmiths. The key is the symbol of St. Peter, the patron saint of the church in Sieverstedt. The gold and blue colours are those of the district. The wavy bar and the green base symbolise the Bollingstedter Au and the nature in the area.
