      On April 1, 1971, the previously independent municipalities of Stenderup near Havetoft
      and Süderschmedeby were incorporated into the new municipality of Sieverstedt.
      Süderschmedeby was first called Smedebu around 1342, in contrast to Norderschmedeby
      near Bau north of the border, which was simply called Smedeby.
      In 1472, it was called Smedeby, in 1538 Smeby, and in 1681 Schmedebui.
      Names ending in -by probably date back to the late Iron Age or Viking Age and are of Danish or Swedish origin. The name can be interpreted as the blacksmith village. Here, bog iron ore was found in the fields and cast and forged in special furnaces.


      Just like today, the municipality was already located in a "traffic triangle" back then,
      to which the early and very numerous settlement can be traced, namely the eastern Heerweg or Ochsenweg, the Stapelholmer Weg, and the Angelboweg.


      The coat of arms blazon:
      "Divided by blue and green, lowered by a narrow golden wavy bar.
      Above, a golden stone grave consisting of three supporting stones and a ceiling stone,
      covered with a red miter. In the upper corners, accompanied on the right by a small golden anvil, on the left by a small golden key."


      The coat of arms of the municipality of Sieverstedt combines various historical symbols
      from the history of the settlements of Sieverstedt.


      The anvil refers to the blacksmithing tradition of Süderschmedeby, and the key
      to the old historic church of Sieverstedt.


      The central element of the coat of arms is the stylized Poppostein (popped stone) with a bishop's mitre in the center, which refers to the legend of the so-called Poppostein (popped stone). The wavy line in the lower section symbolizes the Bollingstedt Au, which flows through the municipality.

      The colors of the coat of arms refer to the town's affiliation with the Duchy of Schleswig.
