![[Dänischenhagen municipal flag]](../images/d/de-rd-03-dh.gif)
3:5
image by Jörg Majewski, 22 May 2006
Description of flag:
The ratio is 3:5. It is an armorial flag.
Klaus-Michael Schneider, 14 Jan 2013
Description of coat of arms:
The shield is divided per chevron. All charges are silver (= white). Above right are three oak leaves in a red field, above left is a millstone also in a red field. Below central is the tower of a church in a blue field. The blue field is separated from the red ones by a silver (= white) rope.
Meaning:
Dänischenhagen was first mentioned as seat of a parish without name. The parish church probably had been built about 1250. In 1318 the bishop mentioned the village by telling the name. The church tower belongs to the local parish church. A more than 100 years old oak stands in the centre of the municipality, symbolized by the leaves. The millstone is representing the importance of agriculture, especially the numerous mills in the municipality. The rope is alluding to the meanwhile died out craft of a ropemaker.

The shield is divided by a bend sinister wavy into to a small upper blue part and a bigger lower golden (= yellow) part. The bend sinister has counterchanged colours. In the golden part is a blue megalithic tomb.
Meaning:
The colours are those of Sweden and of the duchy of Schleswig. The bend wavy is symbolizing a wave of the Baltic Sea rolling onto the sandy shore. The corner (German: Ecke) is a canting element. The base stones of the tomb are symbolizing the estates of Noer, Grönwohld und Dänisch-Nienhof, which formed Schwedeneck in 1928. The stone on the top is symbolizing the current municipality.
