Dahme Municipal Coat of Arms

Description of coat of arms:
In a golden (= yellow) shield above a base of blue and silver (=white) waves are two lighthouses, mainly red.
Meaning:
The lighthouses are those of Dahmeshöved. They are the landmark of the municipality. A fire had been here since time immemorial. Since the middle of the 20th century Dahme is a spa and tourism replaced agriculture and fishing as the main business line.
