coat of arms

The Brandenburg State Main Archives gave the community of Breese its approval to use the coat of arms and flag on November 14, 2012.

Blazon : "In silver a red needle with a red thread stuck through the eye, looped twice (b-shaped) around the needle and torn off on both sides, next to it a rising red unicorn."

Flag of Breese

The unicorn is borrowed from the coat of arms of the von Retzdorf family, who from the 14th to 18th centuries owned the towns of Groß and Klein Breese and the Mittelbreese colony in whole or in part. The needle is a symbol of the sewing machine factory of the Singer company, which was located in Wittenberge in 1903 . The company was one of the most important employers for Breese and has had a lasting impact on the appearance of the place thanks to the factory estate built in 1925. The thread looped around the needle in a b-shape refers to the first letter of the place name.

The coat of arms was created on the initiative of Prignitz-Herold e. V. designed by its members and the community of coat-of-arms families and designed for the community by Sven Schwab.

flag

The Breese flag is red and white (1: 1) striped with the municipal coat of arms in the middle.
