The new coat of arms is in the center by a "S" - shared -shaped branch of a rose hip plant. The "S" stands for the first letter of the municipality Schipkau. The rose hip plant as regionally -based plant, which has increasingly spread back in the reclaimed areas, also symbolizes the merging of the six districts. The districts are represented as six rosehip fruit. In the lower left part of the crest the mining symbol in the form of mallet (hammer) and iron ( chisel) is arranged. Thus, the tradition of mining is shown symbolically in the municipal area as the past. In the upper right half is shown in the illustration, a black geschachtete start and finish flag. This represents the development of the community Schipkau with the aim of tourism development and the resulting strengthening of the domestic economy and the integration of the Euro Speedway Lausitz, which is located in the center of the community Schipkau.

The coat of arms was designed by Frank heraldist Diemar.
