In the base a green mountain with three peaks is superimposed by a golden (= yellow) cross bottony (German: Mauritiuskreuz). Above is an impending, symmetric, green branch of oak, consisting of four leaves and two acorns, which is topped by a red heraldic rose, barbed green and seeded golden (= yellow).
Meaning:
Mountain, branch and oak together are canting. The rose represents "beauty" (German: Schönheit), the oak represents wood (German: Wald) and mountain is representing the local Bungsberg, the highest "mountain" all over Schleswig-Holstein. The cross reminds on Schönwalde as a foundation of the monks of Cismar in the 12th century. The number of oak leaves is representing the former entities, which merged in 1938, forming nowadays Schönwalde. Schönwalde is the capital of the subcounty.
