Mecklenburg village

The Mecklenburg , the former castle of the municipality, is the namesake for the entire Mecklenburg landscape and for the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

The castle of the Slavic Abodrites was referred to as Nakon's castle in a report by the Arab trader Ibrahim Ibn Jacub as early as 965 . As was found in an excavation from 1967 to 1969, it was made in the first half of the 7th century. In the course of time, Mikelenburg became Mecklenburg . King Otto III. first mentioned Mecklenburg on September 10, 995. However, it was demolished in 1256 after being destroyed several times. The material was used for the construction of the Fürstenhof Palace in the then flourishing city of Wismar at the southernmost point of the Baltic Sea. After the castle was rebuilt for the Schwerin princes in 1277 , it was destroyed again 45 years later and finally. The village of Mecklenburg emerged from the settlement of the outer bailey in the middle of the 14th century. The current street "Am Burgwall" leads to the still visible ring wall, which has been used as a cemetery since the last years of the 19th century.

From 1952 to 1994 Dorf Mecklenburg belonged to the district of Wismar-Land (until 1990 in the GDR district of Rostock , 1990–1994 in the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania ). Since 1994 the community has been in the Northwest Mecklenburg district .

coat of arms

Blazon : "Divided by red and gold, above a silver hill fort with three towers, below a looking, gold-crowned and silver-horned black bull's head with a torn red mouth, silver teeth, a knocked out red tongue and seven points torn off the neck." The coat of arms was designed by Wodorfer Rolf Möller. It was approved on November 21, 1991 by the Ministry of the Interior and registered under No. 7 of the coat of arms of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Reasons for the coat of arms: The coat of arms combines the symbol for a Slavic castle with the emblem of the Lords of Mecklenburg and the traditional coat of arms of Mecklenburg, the black bull's head with the torn neck fur. With this visual reference to Mecklenburg Castle, it is reminiscent of the starting point of today's village. The former size of this castle complex, which first gave its name to the Princely House and later to the country, is still testified today by an almost nine-meter-high and twenty-meter-wide rampart that encloses an area of ​​around 1.4 hectares.

flag

The flag was designed by the Rosenthaler Dr. Peter Neichel and approved on August 9, 2012 by the Ministry of the Interior.

The flag is evenly striped lengthways in red and yellow. In the middle of the stripes are the figures of the municipal coat of arms: in the red stripe a white Slavic castle with three towers on the wall, which occupies two thirds of the height of the stripe, in the yellow stripe a looking, yellow crowned black bull's head with a torn red mouth, white Teeth, a knocked-out red tongue, the neck fur torn off at seven points and white horns, which is seven ninths the height of the strip. The height of the flag is related to the length like 2: 3.
