history

Marnitz was first mentioned in a document as Merniz in 1275 . Duke Albrecht acquired the castle and land of Marnitz in 1358. The area thus became Mecklenburg. In 1373 the Duke Marnitz had to pledge to his Knights of Plessen because he could not pay the war costs to them. Damoster , today's desert near Marnitz, is mentioned for the first time in 1492 . From 1505 Marnitz belonged to the Bülow family . In 1627 Marnitz became ducal again. From 1731 to 1788 the area was pledged to Prussia and held by them. In 1920 Marnitz was assigned to the Parchim district. After the Second World War and the founding of the GDR , Marnitz first belonged to the state of Mecklenburg and then to the Schwerin district . In 1959 the Agricultural Production Cooperative (LPG) was founded. In 1982 the town of Ruhn, located in the municipality, on the southern slope of the Ruhner Berg, was abandoned and demolished. Since the fall of the Wall in 1990, Marnitz has belonged to the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and from July 1, 2004 to the Eldenburg Lübz district.

The name comes from the old Slavic mirŭ for peace and means the peaceful place or points to the locator Miron , i.e. place of Miron .

Jarchow was first mentioned in 1323 as Gargowe . The name comes from the Old Slavic grahŭ for pea , so the name means pea place .

Leppin was first mentioned in a document in 1604, (Leppinische Glashütte). The place is likely to be much older. The place got its name from the Slavic locator Lêpa from lêpŭ (The Beautiful), i.e. place des, der Lêpa .

coat of arms

Blazon : "In gold over a blue shield base, in it five (3: 2) golden balls, a striding black bull with a raised tail, lifting the left front foot."

The coat of arms and the flag were designed by the Schwerin heraldist Karl-Heinz Steinbruch . It was approved on April 14, 2000 by the Ministry of the Interior and registered under the number 206 of the coat of arms of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Reasons for the coat of arms: The coat of arms contains the slightly changed symbolism of the von Plessen families, which were important for the development of Marnitz - a striding black bull in gold - and von Bülow - fourteen golden balls in blue, the number of which was reduced to five.

With the merger of the three municipalities of Marnitz, Suckow and Tessenow to form the new municipality of Ruhner Berge, the municipal coat of arms lost its status as a national emblem on January 1, 2019. However, it can still be used by the residents as an identification symbol and as a sign of solidarity with their place.

Marnitz weather station

In 1864 the local teacher CH Tarnke founded one of Mecklenburg's oldest weather stations in Marnitz. There was interest in observing the weather in the village due to the fact that due to the geographical location on the northern foothills of the Ruhner Mountains, thunderstorms only rarely break in over the village, but seem to be caught by the elevations. In addition, due to the altitude, the weather in Marnitz is rougher than in the rest of the country. Tarnke noted the regular weather observations and at that time passed them on to the "Grand Ducal Statistical Office Schwerin" and the "Prussian Meteorological Institute" in Berlin, where the data were evaluated and published.

Since the station was built, the location has been relocated several times and has been in Bahnhofsstraße since 1946. Since the introduction of partially automated data acquisition in 1975, measured values have been recorded every hour. The weather station, now operated by the German Weather Service , has been equipped with an intranet connection since 1999 , via which the data recorded every 10 minutes is transferred to the data network every hour. A showcase is set up in front of the weather station building that shows interested parties current weather data and statistics. Measuring instruments can be seen in the back yard.
