Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on April 9, 1999.

The tree is taken from the 19th century seal of Kolkwitz. In the arms the tree has 17 leaves, for the 17 villages and hamlets in the municipality. Kolkwitz may have been derived from Slavic words, meaning close to the forest, hence the tree may also be considered canting.

The municipality is home to a lot of small streams and ponds, rich in fish, which is symbolised by the base.
