Klausdorf CoA

granted 25 May 1974

Coat of Arms: Gules, in base a wavy fess argent; in chief a broken crozier argent.
The wavy bar represents the mighty Schwentine river. The broken crozier tells that the municipality used to belong to the Preetzer monastery (Preetz is a town a bit further SE of Kiel), which doesn't exist anymore. The white lily within the crozier was part of the family arms of the von Swyns, mentioned many times in chronicles about the settlement and monastery. The colors red-white show the Hoilstein Land-colors, where the municipality belongs to. In the festive week devoted to the 750-years of existence of Klausdorf the arms were granted on 25 May 1974 by Minister of the Interior Titzck.
