In a blue field is a silver (= white), sinister bendy fish. The shield has a golden (= yellow) bordure superimposed by seven green beech leaves.

Those are: Dobersdorf, Fargau-Pratjau, Lammershagen, Martensrade, Schlesen and the no flag entities of Mucheln and Selent. The fish is taken from the arms of the knights of Schlesen (de Slesce) from the 14th century. Fish and blue colour are symbolizing riches of water and fish.
