Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on December 5, 2002.
The waves in the base of the arms represent the Sankelmarker Lake, after which the municipality was named in 1974. The division of the arms is also a symbol for the two former municipalities as well as the road that connects both villages. The colours are taken from the colours of the district arms. The base shows a prehistoric grave monument (monolith) near Munkwolstrup. The monument is shown with six stones, one for each settlement in the municipality; Barderup, Munkwolstrup, Augaard, Bilschau, Juhlschau and Sankelmark. The plough iron symbolises the agricultural character of the municipality.
