The shield is divided per fess wavy into golden (= yellow) over green. Both fields are separated by a blue fess wavy with a silver (= white) barrulet wavy. A silver (= white) tower with a blue roof is superimposing both waves. On the dexter chiefpoint are two black swords crossed per saltire. On the sinister chiefpoint is a red millwheel.
Meaning:
The tower belongs to the fortified church of Oeversee, which is more than 800 years old. The swords, a symbol of battle, are reminding on the battle of Oeversee (6 February 1864) between Danish and Austrian troops. They are also symbolising the care of the inhabitants for the killed and injured after the battle. The wheel is symbolising the village of Frörup, which has an old watermill. The waves are a canting element. The green base is symbolising the local meadows.

The shield is divided per bend sinister and has a base of blue and golden(= yellow) waves. Above right in a blue field is a golden (= yellow) plough share. Below in a golden (= yellow) field is a blue megalithic tomb.
Meaning:
The colours and the division of the shield are alluding to the county. The waves are symbolising the Sankelmark See, which played an important role as name giver, when the former municipalities of Barderup and Munkwolstrup had been united in 1974. The plough share is symbolising agriculture. The six stones of the tomb are symbolising the archaeological excavations, which took place in 1690. They are also symbolising the six villages, which formed the former municipality: Barderup, Munkwolstrup, Augård, Bilschau, Juhlschau und Sankelmark.
