coat of arms
The coat of arms was established in 1998 by the municipal council and approved by the Brandenburg Ministry of the Interior on April 9, 1999.
Blazon : "From a wavy green-silver split blue corrugated shield base, topped with a silver fish, a green deciduous tree growing in gold."
The deciduous tree already appears in a community seal from the end of the 19th century. The heraldic motif, designed as a general deciduous tree, has 17 leaves and thus reflects the number of districts of the municipality.
The tree also stands as a talking image for the community name. Kolkwitz is etymologically interpreted as "surrounded by pine wall" or "lying below the forest". The two corrugated beams and, above all, the heraldic stylized fish symbolize the water-rich pond landscape of the Kolkwitz community, which is crossed by the Priorgraben, a historically significant canal.
For the municipality, the motif and the color scheme with green as the main color also reflect the wealth of meadows and forests in the municipality's corridor and the location of the municipality on the edge of the Spreewald.
The coat of arms was designed by the heraldist Frank Diemar .
Community partnerships
There has been a partnership with the Bavarian municipality of Großmehring in the Eichstätt district since 1994, and with Torzym in the Polish Lebus voivodeship since 2006 .
