coat of arms

The municipality received its own coat of arms in 2011 with the aim of strengthening the local identity. The coat of arms designed by graphic artist Uwe Nagel emblazoned them as follows : A red wagon wheel emblazoned on a silver background above a green hill with six golden bricks; at the top it is framed by a three-fold curved blue shield head.

The Dreiberg and the hill illustrate Hennstedt's elevated position compared to the neighboring communities. The five-spoke wagon wheel symbolizes the streets that lead into the surrounding villages. The golden bricks are a reference to the former brick factory and its economic importance. The green of the hill alludes to the importance of agriculture, while the remaining colors, blue, white and red, correspond to the state colors of Schleswig-Holstein.
