The district of Ludwigslust-Parchim is a district in the southwest of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . With an area of 4752 km², the district is the second largest district in Germany after the Mecklenburg Lake District, which was formed at the same time . It also has the lowest population density of the administrative districts in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The county seat is Parchim . There is a branch office of the administration in Ludwigslust .
geography
The district borders in the north on the district of Northwest Mecklenburg , the state capital Schwerin and the Schweriner See , in the northeast on the district of Rostock , in the east on the district of Mecklenburg Lake District , in the south on the Brandenburg district of Prignitz , in the south-west on the district of Lüchow-Dannenberg in Lower Saxony and Lüneburg and in the northwest to the Duchy of Lauenburg in Schleswig-Holstein.
The density of lakes decreases from the Sternberger lake landscape in the northeast over the Lewitz to the Griesen area in the southwest. Larger lakes are the Plauer See , the Schaalsee , the Goldberger See and the Große Sternberger See . The artificially created fish ponds in the Lewitz are also striking . The Elde, which rises in the neighboring district of Mecklenburg Lake District, stretches from Plauer See to the southwest through the district, taking in the Stör Canal and smaller tributaries and branches off at Eldena into the Elde Lateral Canal and the Alte Elde. The canal flows into the Elbe in Dömitz , which forms the border with Lower Saxony in two sections there and at Boizenburg / Elbe . Furthermore, the Sude drains with the tributaries Schaale and Schilde into the Elbe and thus towards the North Sea.
The source of the Warnow is north of the North Sea-Baltic watershed in Grebbin . The river runs through the northeast of the district in an arc, taking in the Mildenitz and leaving the district in the direction of Rostock and the Baltic Sea.
The highest elevations are up to 176.8 m above sea level. NHN high Ruhner Mountains near Marnitz in the south of the district. The Ruhner Berg is the second highest elevation in the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania after the Helpter Mountains .
In terms of spatial planning , the region can benefit from its proximity to the Hamburg metropolitan region and its location between the metropolitan regions of Berlin and Copenhagen-Malmö , as well as from the Rostock regiopolis and Szczecin with its cross-border metropolitan area .

A district reform was planned in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania as early as 2009, in which the previous districts of Parchim and Ludwigslust, together with the district of Northwest Mecklenburg, the Hanseatic city of Wismar and the planned district seat of Schwerin, were to merge into a district of West Mecklenburg . This planned district corresponded to the name and the extension according to the legally defined planning region of the country. Following constitutional complaints from several districts, these plans were stopped in a ruling by the Greifswald State Constitutional Court in 2007.
The district reform planned for 2011 could be carried out after the dismissal of the complaints of several districts. The preliminary planning name of the new great district was Southwest Mecklenburg district . Both former district towns fought to keep the district seat. In the deliberations on the law on district reform, the state parliament decided on July 7, 2010 in favor of the more populous city of Parchim.
On the day the district reform came into force and at the same time as the state election , the citizens voted for the new district council and voted on the district name. 55.4% of the voters with valid votes opted for the designation of the Ludwigslust-Parchim district proposed by the previous Ludwigslust district . The name Landkreis Parchim-Ludwigslust was also available .

Blazon : “Split and half divided, in front in blue a striding, golden (yellow) armored silver (white) gray heron, in the back above in gold (yellow) a peek, golden (yellow) crowned black bull's head with closed mouth, below in red two fused golden (yellow) oak leaves with golden (yellow) acorn. "
It shows a gray heron in front , which stands for nature, the diversity of species and the abundance of water in the district. The bull's head comes from both the coat of arms of Mecklenburg and that of the Altkreis Parchim , the oak branch comes from the coat of arms of the Altkreis Ludwigslust .
The municipal coats of arms of the district are listed in the list of coats of arms in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district .
The district also gave itself a flag through the amendment to the statutes of January 27, 2015. This is split and half-divided in a ratio of one third to two thirds of the length of the flag cloth. The field on the leech is blue. The field at the flying end is evenly striped lengthways with yellow and red. On each of the fields are the figures of the district coat of arms: in the field on the Liek in the middle a striding, yellow armored white heron, at the flying end in the middle in the middle of the gap in the upper field shifted downwards a yellow crowned black bull's head with closed mouth, in the lower field shifted slightly upwards two yellow oak leaves with yellow acorns that have grown together. The height of the flag cloth is related to the length like 3 to 5.
The official seal shows the coat of arms of the district Ludwigslust-Parchim and the inscription "LANDKREIS LUDWIGSLUST-PARCHIM".
