coat of arms

Blazon : “Divided by red and silver by a rounded left bevel. Above a rising silver horse, below two blue wavy bars. "

The division of the coat of arms is intended to symbolize the meaning of Kleve's name and at the same time describes the striking topographical situation of the village on the northern edge of the Dithmarscher Geest in the transition to the Eiderniederung, the natural area of ​​the Eiderstedter and Untereider Marsch . The rising horse is supposed to symbolize the importance of horse breeding and equestrian sport for Kleve. A dense network of bridle paths and roads runs through the municipality. The two wavy threads in the shield base refer to the Eider as the northern border river and the Broklandsau , which characterize the landscape around Kleve. The colors blue, white and red refer to the national colors and white and red to the colors of the Dithmarschen district.
