His most important publications include the picture map of the Jade region (1960) and the picture map of the history of East Friesland (1967), both published by Verlag Lohse-Eissing Wilhelmshaven and as a reprint in 2015 by Brune-Mettcker-Verlag Wilhelmshaven. Coldewey was one of the four former authors of the Wilhelmshavener Heimatlexikon , the 1st edition of which was published in 1972 by Brune Druck- und Verlagsgesellschaft mbH Wilhelmshaven.

Coldewey took over the chairmanship of the Wilhelmshavener Heimatverein "Die Boje" in 1963 and from then on devoted himself to the idea of ​​making connections in the local history transparent to the citizens of the city. His work as district commissioner for nature and landscape protection can also be seen as a complement to his activities for the protection and preservation of natural landscapes and historical sites.

Two streets are named after him in the Wilhelmshaven-Rustersiel district and in the Grafschaft district of Schortens .
