The wavy division line and the beaver symbolise the Dreetzer See and Dreetzer Luch nature reserves. The waves also symbolise the Rhin river. The trees in the base are a canting element, the name Dreetz is derived from the Polabic word Drewo, which means wood or tree. It is shown in the shape of a beaver burrow.
