history

Hohenfelde was first mentioned in a document around 1177 as "Putechowe" in a list of the founding property of the Doberan Cistercian Abbey . Hohenfelde is one of the oldest communities in Mecklenburg. The original name for Hohenfelde Putechowe, Putecha or Putekowe, as it was called from 1192, is of Slavic origin and is likely to be derived from the place of Potech , where tech means something like consolation or joy . Hohenfelde was first mentioned with its German name in 1312.

On July 1, 1950, the previously independent municipality of Ivendorf was incorporated.

coat of arms

Blazon : "In gold over a green hill a green chestnut leaf."

The coat of arms was designed by the Schwerin heraldist Karl-Heinz Steinbruch . It was approved by the Ministry of the Interior on January 28, 2002 and registered under the number 256 of the coat of arms of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Justification of the coat of arms: In the coat of arms, the chestnut leaf, chosen as the main symbol of the coat of arms, is intended to remind of the earlier form of settlement in Hohenfelde, a Rundling. Only one access road led into the interior of this typical defense and protection system of the German-Slavic border area - a central square around which the farmsteads with the gable front are grouped in a fan shape. At the same time, the leaf stands for the numerous chestnut trees in Dorfstrasse. The hill should refer to the community name as a speaking sign.

flag

The flag was designed by Jens Preuss from Hohenfeld and approved on December 3, 2012 by the Ministry of the Interior.

The flag is striped of green, yellow, and green. The green stripes each take up one sixth, the yellow stripe two thirds of the height of the flag cloth. In the middle of the yellow stripe, five sixths of the height of the stripe, lies a figure of the municipal coat of arms: a green chestnut leaf. The relation of the height of the flag cloth to the length is like 3: 5.

Official seal

The official seal shows the municipal coat of arms with the inscription "• GEMEINDE HOHENFELDE • LANDKREIS ROSTOCK •".
