Shield Or a stag salient Gules, issuant from base a triplemount Vert.
Meaning:
Klietz had a municipal seal already in 1781, displaying a stag salient. The county provided a seal displaying two halberds in saltire, which was rejected by the municipality in 1946. The village mayor stressed that there had been 14 municipalities of the (former) Jerichow II County displayed a stag in their arms due to the statistics of 1908. A school banner inaugurated in 1957 displayed a stag salient over a heather landscape. The arms were redesigned in 1991 by Jörg Mantzsch, displaying the stag dur to the tradition in local seals and paintings.
