Like the entire surrounding area, Godern was affected by the Thirty Years War . In 1646 the place is said to have been almost destroyed by a fire. The area belonged to the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin until 1918 , then to the state of Mecklenburg , which was replaced by the Schwerin district in 1952 . From 1952 to 1994 the community was part of the Schwerin-Land district , Godern has been part of the Parchim district since 1994, and the Ludwigslust-Parchim district from 2011. After 1990, the number of inhabitants rose sharply due to the newly developed residential areas. There is a swimming area on the shores of the Pinnower See.

coat of arms
|
|
Blazon : "In gold over a red shield base, inside an eight-spoke, eight-bladed golden mill wheel, a torn green chestnut, on both sides accompanied by a red horseshoe with six nail holes."
The coat of arms was designed by Roland Bornschein from Wismar . It was approved on September 5, 1997 by the Ministry of the Interior and registered under the number 138 of the coat of arms of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. |
| Explanation of the coat of arms: In the coat of arms, the figures refer in particular to trades that were important in the past of the place: for example, the mill wheel to the undershot water mill, which can be proven as early as 1474, and the horseshoes to the blacksmiths and carts forge in Godern, mentioned in 1823 and still functioning today. In addition, the number of horseshoes symbolize the two districts. The chestnut stands for the chestnut avenue leading to Godern. In terms of tinging, the color red and the metal gold are reminiscent of Godern's affiliation to the medieval county of Schwerin. When it was incorporated into the community of Pinnow on January 1, 2012, the community coat of arms lost its status as a national emblem. However, it can still be used by the residents as an identification symbol and as a sign of solidarity with their place. |
