coat of arms
Blazon : "In silver, a cut, S-shaped green rose hip branch with six red fruits, bordered at the bottom right by a black mallet and iron crossed at an angle, at the top left by a flag waving to the right in black and silver."
The new coat of arms is divided in the middle by an "S" - shaped branch of a rose hip plant. The "S" stands for the first letter of the community Schipkau. The rose hip plant as a regionally native plant, which has increasingly spread again in the recultivated areas, also symbolizes the growing together of the six districts. The districts are shown as six rose hip fruits. In the lower left half of the coat of arms the mining symbol is arranged in the form of a mallet (hammer) and iron (chisel) . This symbolizes the tradition of mining in the municipality as the past. In the top right half of the illustration you can see a black and white nested start and finish flag. This stands for the development of the community of Schipkau with the aim of developing tourism and the resulting strengthening of the local economy and including the EuroSpeedway Lausitz, which is located in the center of the community of Schipkau.
The coat of arms was designed by the heraldist Frank Diemar .
