coat of arms

Blazon : "In gold, a leaping red stag with ten-pointed antlers and black hooves over a green three-mountain."

Klietz already had a community seal in 1781. It was a picture seal (not a coat of arms seal!) That showed a jumping deer in the seal picture.

In 1946 the community objected to a seal supplied by the district that contained 2 halberds. The mayor at the time asked to be allowed to continue the old community seal with the deer and wrote: “ When the community seal of the Jerichow II district was checked for the first time in 1908, it was found that the following 14 communities had the deer in their coat of arms ^* : Briest, Garz, Groß Wulkow, Kabelitz, Kamern, Klein Wulkow, Klietz, Kulhausen, Molkenberg, Redekin, Reesen, Rehberg, Scharteucke, Warnau. In the aforementioned places, the coat of arms ^{* used was} no longer the characteristic feature of a particular municipality and had lost its meaning as a distinctive symbol that was specific to the municipality. A few years ago in the Landratsl. A review of the archival holdings of the Magdeburg State Archives showed that in 1691, of the places in the Jerichow II district, only the community of Garz kept the stag and coat of arms ^* . The other places mentioned, which used to have their own coat of arms , adorned their coat of arms ^* with 'foreign feathers' in the 19th century without authorization. "

In the chronicle of the municipality of Klietz (school chronicle) there is also a reference to the consecration of the school flag on June 1, 1957 with the image of the deer leaping over a clearing in the forest overgrown with heather.

The Klietz municipal council had already decided on November 28, 1991 to include the symbolism of the jumping deer in the local coat of arms. This request was granted in 1996 by heraldically correcting tinctures, deer and shield foot. The coat of arms was designed by the local heraldist Jörg Mantzsch and the stag was drawn as it was handed down in seals and pictures.

^*Note: The former mayor of Klietz incorrectly uses the word “coat of arms” in his letter; correctly it must be called a seal or image seal, because the villages mentioned did not have any legally awarded coats of arms.

Historical coat of arms

The former communities of Klietz and Scharlibbe already had a coat of arms-like seal image in their community seal. This was used in the period after the Second World War until approximately the introduction of the districts and counties in the GDR (1945–1952). Another source is the County Home Museum in Genthin.
