meaning

The coat of arms shows the history of the municipality of Rühn, its location on the Warnow and important historical branches of employment. In 1232 the place "Run" was first mentioned in connection with the foundation of a Benedictine monastery by Bishop Brunward von Schwerin. May 14, 1233 is considered to be the actual founding day: Gerhard II , Archbishop of Bremen, confirmed the establishment of the monastery according to the Rule of St. Benedict . In the coat of arms the monastery is symbolized by the typical three-window group pars-pro-toto. The hop leaf, the umbel and the tendril indicate agriculture as the main line of business. When the monastery was founded, Mecklenburg was an important hop growing area. At first it was not grown in fields, but in the monastery garden. According to the official register of 1579, it was one of the most important crops after rye and barley, the yields of which exceeded those of oats, wheat or buckwheat. The mill wheel symbolizes the handicraft that was strongly represented in the village in earlier times. According to tradition, it has two watermills, one on Lake Rühn and later one in Hof Rühn, the building of which is still there. There was also a windmill. The blue wavy bar represents the location of the municipality on the Warnow.
