Location of the district of Ostvorpommern in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania | |
The district of Ostvorpommern was a district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania , which became part of the district of Vorpommern-Greifswald in the course of the district reform in 2011 .
geography
The western part of the Baltic Sea island of Usedom belonged to the district area (the eastern part belongs to Poland). Neighboring districts were the Uecker-Randow district in the southeast, the Mecklenburg-Strelitz district in the south and the Demmin and North Western Pomerania districts in the west . The Hanseatic city of Greifswald protruded from the Baltic Sea in the north into the district area.
The landscape is determined by moraines, moors ( Peenetalmoor , Ziesebruch , Thurbruch ) and, above all, the coastal location on the Baltic Sea , Bodden waters ( Greifswalder Bodden , Peenestrom , Krumminer Wiek, Achterwasser ) and the Stettiner Haff . The most important river is the Peene .
history
The district of Ostvorpommern was created during the district reform in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania on June 12, 1994 by merging the former districts of Anklam , Greifswald and Wolgast .
For an administrative reform and the intended creation of new great districts in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in 2009, the considerations of the state government initially went to merging the district as a whole into a new "district of South Western Pomerania". After the judgment of the state constitutional court of July 26, 2007, the original reform law could not be implemented as it was incompatible with the state's constitution.
In the course of a new district reform in 2011 , the Ostvorpommern district finally became part of the new Vorpommern-Greifswald district with the district town of Greifswald.

coat of arms
Blazon : "In gold an upright, red-tongued black griffin with a raised tail."
The coat of arms and the flag were based on an idea by Levenhagener Dr. Norbert Buske and designed by Uwe Christoffer from Schwerin . It was approved together with the flag on February 20, 1998 by the Ministry of the Interior and registered under the number 143 of the coat of arms of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. |
|
Reasons for the coat of arms: The coat of arms is linked to the black griffin, one of the color variants of the emblem of the Pomeranian griffin family, to the coat of arms symbol of the Wolgast line of the ducal house until 1500 for the countries of Wolgast and Barth. For the design of the griffin motif in the district coat of arms, a deliberate departure was made from the form handed down in seals and coats of arms depictions from the 15th and 16th centuries, and the griffin design was used, as defined in 1929 by the Prussian State Ministry for the middle coat of arms of the province of Pomerania was, and how it can also be found in the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania coat of arms. |
flag
The flag is made of yellow cloth. In the middle it is covered with the figure of the district coat of arms: with an upright, red-tongued black griffin with a raised tail. The figure occupies seven ninths the height of the flag cloth. The length of the flag cloth is related to the height as 5: 3.
