Durch eine bewegte silberne Welle geteilt von Blau und Rot, überdeckt mit einem bewurzelten mit zwei Blättern wieder ausgeschlagenen goldenen Eichenstumpf. Die Blätter schließen einen mit der spitzen Seite nach vorn weisenden silbernen Hammer ein.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on December 14, 1987.

The oak trump with two leaves symbolises the two villages Fleckeby and Götheby-Holm. The oak is chosen as a symbol for the many forests in the area. The hammer symbolises the local industries in the former centuries, when Fleckeby was the centre of a larger district. The wavy bar symbolises the Schlei.
