history
The former Mecklenburg district of Schwerin , which emerged from the office of Schwerin , was divided when the federal states were dissolved on July 25, 1952. The new district of Gadebusch emerged from the north-western part of the area , the larger remainder belonged to the newly formed district of Schwerin as the Schwerin-Land district. The district came to the newly founded state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania on October 3, 1990 within the accession area to the Federal Republic of Germany . On June 12, 1994, the district (since May 17, 1990 referred to as the Schwerin district ) was dissolved and divided into three parts: the north-west fell to the newly founded north-west Mecklenburg district , the south-east and east became part of the Parchim district , and the south-west - and the southern part were incorporated into the Ludwigslust district.
coat of arms
The coat of arms was approved by the Ministry of the Interior on October 16, 1992 and registered under number 37 in the coat of arms of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
Blazon : "In blue a left flank divided by red and gold, accompanied by a silver horse's head."
According to the design principle of the pars pro toto, the horse's head and the colors of the flank are intended to commemorate the County of Schwerin, which was formed in 1167 and to which most of the district area belonged until the end of 1358. The horse's head is also intended to establish a connection to the state capital Schwerin, the district seat, and to symbolize the district as an area traditionally characterized by agriculture and the rural way of life.
The coat of arms was designed by the Wismar heraldist Roland Bornschein .
Economy and Infrastructure
Agriculture and forestry played the main role in the Schwerin-Land district, the most sparsely populated district in the Schwerin district. The largest forest nursery in the GDR was located in the Gädebehn forest near Crivitz .
The main traffic axes in the circle ran radially towards Schwerin . The Schwerin-Berlin motorway ran through the area of the district as did the F 104 , F 106 and F 321 . This also applied to the railway lines (routes Schwerin-Berlin, Schwerin-Wismar / Rostock ). The railway lines from Schwerin to Gadebusch , to Hagenow and to Parchim were of secondary importance.
