history

Leezen Manor , built in 1850

Leezen was first mentioned in 1325. The place name was probably derived from the Old Slavic word "lêsŭ" for "forest" and means "forest place". According to records from 1833, Kavelmoor was a Büdner settlement . The Mecklenburg Gut Leezen was owned by the von Halberstadt family for several centuries . Like the entire surrounding area, Leezen was affected by the Thirty Years' War . Before 1790 the property came to the von Laffert family . Other owners were the Dessin families, Otto von Hahn , Franz von Bülow and von Dorne . The Evers family acquired the estate initially leased from the von Dorne family. Carl Detlef Evers had the neo-Gothic Leezen manor built and a landscape park set up in 1850 . After the death of Carl Detlef Evers, his heirs sold the estate and palace to Ludwig Wilhelm Christian Diestel in 1860; whose grave chapel is located in the Langen Brütz church cemetery. After the Second World War , the last owners were expropriated and the Leezen estate was converted into an LPG .

The area belonged to the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin until 1918 , then to the state of Mecklenburg and then from 1952 to 1990 to the Schwerin district .

Rampe was first mentioned in a document in 1171. The single-storey Rampe manor house has been redesigned several times, was a hotel for a few years after 1990 and is now (2016) a diaconal home for the disabled.

coat of arms

	Blazon : “A blue bar in gold; accompanied: above by a red stone grave consisting of two bearing stones and a capstone; below of five (3: 2) red plowshares. " The coat of arms was designed by Roland Bornschein from Wismar . It was approved on February 5, 1999 by the Ministry of the Interior and registered under the number 181 of the coat of arms of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
	Justification of the coat of arms: In the coat of arms, the bar should indicate the location of the municipality on Lake Schwerin. The stone grave represents the numerous large stone graves around Leezen. The plowshares refer, on the one hand, to the main source of income for the inhabitants, agriculture, and, on the other hand, to the number of districts.
