Description of coat of arms:
The shield is divided by a golden (= yellow) bend sinister. Above in a red field is a silver (= white) horse head. Below in a blue field is a silver (= white) hat. The bend sinister is superimposed with three red heath roses flamed golden (= yellow).
Meaning:
The municipality was first mentioned in 1231, named after Hatte. It is told that this man gained the place by ploughing the fields by a horse within one day. German poet Theodor Storm married in Hattstedt. His famous novel The Mould Rider is dedicated to the local dyke reeve Iwersen-Schmidt, who was a friend of the poet. The mould's head is alluding to the novel. The hat is symbolizing the form of a hill in the local moraines. The heath roses are stylized blossoms of the endemic species of "Calluna vulgaris". The colours are those of Northern Frisia.

Description of coat of arms:
The silver (= white) shield is divided by two blue fesses wavy. The green chief wavy is superimposed by a golden (= yellow), broken chain. The bluebase demi urdy is superimposed by a silver (= white) fess wavy.
Meaning:
The chain is an attribute of St. Lennard, the patron saint of the local parish church. The blue wavy lines are symbolizing the rivers Eider and Treene, the white one in the base is symbolizing the drained Nordereider. In the 8th century Frisians settled down here. The three silhouettes on top of the base are probably canting, symbolizing three huts. The meaning is that Koldenbüttel had been given up and populated again. The location had been devastated by various heavy storm floods in the 14th, 15th and 16th century.
