history

The name of the place, first mentioned in 1386, comes from the Danish and means settlement place (toft) in barren terrain (gold) .

In earlier times there was a chapel in Goltoft, which was located on the so-called Karkbarg , which is east of the village. Since it was mentioned as early as 1463 that there were no more services in the chapel, it can be assumed that the chapel closed in the period after that. The pastorate remained in Goltoft until 1765 when it was moved to Brodersby , which had none before. Today the only legacy left is the field name Kirchenberg and the street name Zum Kirchberg. In the map “Duchy of Schleswig” (published 1756–1777) Goltoft is also referred to as “Capelberg”, located between “Hessttofft” and “Brodersbuy”.

coat of arms

Blazon : “Divided lowered by gold and blue in a wave cut. At the top two fan-shaped green oak leaves , the stems of which are held together by a knotted green ribbon, at the bottom a silver fish . "

The two figures of the Goltofter coat of arms relate to historical circumstances. The held together by a knotted belt oak leaves are the stylized form of a double oak , the memento of the Schleswig-Holstein uprising of 1848. As in many communities was also Goltoft, probably the fiftieth anniversary in 1898, planted such oak. The old oak, which was removed by road construction in 1978, was replaced by a new one the following year. The knot of the coat of arms is a sign of the unbreakable bond between Schleswig and Holstein , the oak a guarantee for the independence and stability of the citizens of the community. Goltoft was part of the Schliesharde or Schleiharde. As an administrative and judicial district, the Schliesharde had a seal . The seal picture was a fish, which symbolized the location on the fish-rich Schlei. Goltoft took over the fish from this Hardes seal.
