The base of the red shield is divided by a silver (= white) fess wavy. Above is a crozier of the same colur having a broken shaft.
Meaning:
The fess wavy is symbolising the Schwentine River. The broken crozier tells that the municipality used to belong to the Preetzer monastery for some 700 years. (Preetz is a town a bit further SE of Kiel), which doesn't exist anymore. The white lily within the crozier was part of the family arms of the von Swyns, mentioned many times in chronicles about the settlement and monastery. The colours red-white are those of Holstein., to which the municipality belongs. In the festive week devoted to the 750-years of existence of Klausdorf the arms were granted on 25 May 1974 by the Minister of the Interior, Titzck.The crozier is alluding to the rule of the Benedictian nuns of Preetz Monastery for some 700 years.

It is The green sheet is horizontally divided by four yellow stripes, i.e. a 9-stripes flag with alternating green and white stripes. In the green canton is a yellow branch of oak with three leaves and two acorns.
Meaning:
The branch is taken from the arms of the knave Hinrich Block, who sold the village in 1369 to the monastery of Preetz. In the area are numerous groves of oaks. Thus the branch is a canting element, symbolising the first syllable of the municipality's name, derived from "Eichenreis". The green colour is symbolising the groves. The yellow colour is symbolising the sun.
