1:2

Description of coat of arms:
The blue shield is divided by a silver (= white), cotized chevron. Above right and left is a golden (= yellow) oak leaf. Below is a golden plough share. The shield has a silver (= white) base wavy superimposed by a blue fish.
Meaning:
The fish is representing the fishing village of Möltenort. The plough share is representing Alt Heikendorf and Neu Heikendorf. The leaves are symbolizing Schrevenborn Manor, which gave the subcounty its name, and Kitzeberg. The wavy base is stressing that Heikendorf is a spa (Ostseebad). In 1913 Möltenort merged with Alt Heikendorf. The name of the new entity was Heikendorf. In 1928 Heikendorf and Neu Heikendorf merged and incorporated the dissolved manor district (Gutsbezirk) of Schrevenborn. The chevron is symbolizing the former municipalities under one roof and is also representing the typical Lower Saxon farmhouses.

Description of coat of arms:
In the golden (= yellow) shield is a red church tower flanked by two red heraldic roses. The red base is superimposed by a silver (= white) nettle leaf flanked by two golden (= yellow) ears of grain.
Meaning:
The colours of the stripes are those of Schleswig-Holstein. The tower belongs to the local parish church dedicated to St. Mary. The roses are her attributes and a canting element representing beauty (German: Schönheit). The nettle leaf is alluding to Count Johann I of Holstein, who founded the church, which had been completed in 1237. The grain is symbolizing the economic importance of agriculture.
