Village church in Granzin

The first church building in Granzin was probably built before 1277, but demolished again around 1360. Today's church was built from 1861 to 1864 in neo-Gothic style based on designs by the state master builder Theodor Krüger . It was inaugurated on November 6, 1864. The ringing consists of two bells that were already used in Granzin's older churches. The big bell with a diameter of 101 cm was cast in 1486 in Wismar or Rostock. The smaller bell with a diameter of 86 cm was cast around in Rostock in 1755.

School in the countryside in Mecklenburg was only introduced after the Reformation . The sexton taught at school . There is evidence of a sexton in Granzin as early as 1586. The end of the Granzin school came in 1975, when modern central schools in Lübz were completed.

At the turn of the 19th to the 20th century, some culturally and historically valuable finds from prehistoric times were made in the area around the village. Some can be seen in Schwerin museums.

The history of Greven is closely linked to the Prussian Colonel Helmuth von Plessen , who bought goods here in 1734, settled farmers and switched to farming.

On January 1, 1951, the previously independent municipality of Lindenbeck was incorporated.

In 1994 Granzin won a bronze medal in the national competition “Our village should be more beautiful”.

coat of arms

Blazon : "In blue a golden horsefly, between its splayed thighs a golden sheaf."

The coat of arms was designed by the Schwerin heraldist Karl-Heinz Steinbruch . It was approved by the Ministry of the Interior on December 28, 2000 and registered under the number 232 of the coat of arms of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Justification of the coat of arms: In the coat of arms symbols have been put together, with which references to the historical development and economic situation of the place can be made. The horse brake stands not only for traditional agriculture in the community area, but also as the coat of arms of the extinct noble family von Brüsewitz for the first verifiable owner of the forest areas of Granzin to be settled. The sheaf not only symbolizes the plant production in the region in a special way, but also reminds of one of the previous owners of Greven and Beckendorf as a figure from the coat of arms of the von Winterfeldt family, which shows a golden sheaf in blue against which a silver wolf leaps .
