coat of arms

Blazon : "On a black ground in gold, a bearded sower clad in a green hat, green shirt, green vest, green trousers and green boots, who spreads golden grains from a silver cloth tied around his shoulder in a sack."

The motif of the coat of arms of the Kronprinzenkoog municipality goes back to a picture window in the meeting room of the district house in Meldorf, which was built between 1895 and 1899. Before construction began, the district of Süderdithmarschen asked all communities in the district to donate a coat of arms window. The picture windows completed in 1901 did not meet the requirements of strict heraldry, but provided the communities with a picture with which they could represent themselves. In this way, the sower has become part of their identity for the Kronprinzenkoog community. The heraldic revision and official approval of the landmark followed 90 years later.

The original roof turret no longer exists; In 1980 the roof was re-covered with copper sheet, whereby the tower helmet was raised by two meters. An annex was added to the south side of the choir; after some changes, some of the original furnishings are still present inside. The parish belonged to the North Elbian Evangelical Lutheran Church until 2012 .
