history

Liepgarten

Compared to other places in the area, Liepgarten has a much longer history. Before the Germanization in the course of the eastward expansion , there was a Slavic settlement called Lipagor (in German: Lindenberg ; first mentioned in 1241). The owners of the village changed frequently, and from 1270 it belonged to the newly founded city of Ueckermünde . From 1496 Liepgarten was again ducal property. In the turmoil of the Thirty Years War , the place was even temporarily uninhabited. Gradually, the entire area recovered and the residents opened up new branches of business in addition to agriculture.

From the beginning of the 18th century tar was burned, at the end of the 19th century many brickworks were built , in Liepgarten, which had 1,072 inhabitants in 1895, only three were in operation. In the cold season the clay was pricked, from spring it was dried and fired. A special feature was the difference in color: the bricks made to the west of the Uecker were red, those from the opposite side were yellow. Up until the Second World War, a few families lived off the barge business in Liepgarten. In 1933 the population peaked at 1,220.

Liepgarten's image has changed since the political change. In 1993 a new pavement replaced the old paving of the local road and new trees were planted. In the middle of Liepgarten is the church built in the 15th century. Some houses from the Wilhelminian era have been preserved, which still characterize the townscape today.

Jädkemühl

Jädkemühl used to be called Gödeke Möhlen , which indicates a former mill.

Star hole

Starkenloch emerged as one of the so-called Dutch farms , which is derived from the way of settlement (the neighboring town south of Liepgarten is called Torgelow-Holländerei ). The White Moor , which is now drained, was located between the two districts . Thanks to an environmental group, the white cotton grass that gave the area its name is now blooming again .

coat of arms

Blazon : “Above a silver shield base, in it a blue wavy bar, in gold a green three-mountain, topped with a falling golden seed stand of the linden tree with five seed pods; on the Dreiberg a red linden tree with green leaves. " The coat of arms and the flag were designed by Dieter Pahl from Liepgarten . It was approved on May 2, 2001 by the Ministry of the Interior and registered under No. 242 of the coat of arms of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Reasons for the coat of arms: In the coat of arms, the linden tree and the three mountain are used as speaking symbols to create a visual reference to the Slavic place name (lipa góra = linden mountain). The seed stand and the tree symbolize the natural cycle at the same time. The Uecker flowing through the community hallway is to be symbolized with the wavy strip.
