coat of arms

Coat of arms of Gägelow
 Blazon : “In blue a golden tip, covered with half a red tip, inside a twelve-petalled, golden rosette; a golden boulder in front and behind. "

The coat of arms was designed by the Weimar heraldist Michael Zapfe . It was approved on November 4, 1996 by the Ministry of the Interior and registered under the number 116 of the coat of arms of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Justification of the coat of arms: In the coat of arms the tips and the rosette are supposed to symbolize the historically interesting village church in the district of Proseken, whose tower below the pointed helmet has rich decoration of diamonds, rosettes and pointed arches. The boulders are said to refer to the witnesses of the settlement in the Neolithic Age, to the numerous large stone graves in the communal corridor. The tinging indicates that the municipality belongs to the state of Mecklenburg.
