history
The first written mention of Sülstorf comes from the year 1217. Here the place was mentioned in a deed of donation from the Counts of Schwerin to the Commandery of Sülstorf . The Commander of the Order of St. John had its seat here until 1315. Around 1700 there was a sovereign court in Boldela, to which Sülstorf also served. In 1882 a mill was still shown on a map near Sülstorf. A fire destroyed the Sülstorf church in 1979 , which was rebuilt in 1984 and a wooden tower in 2003.
On January 1, 1951, the previously independent municipality Boldela was incorporated.
From April 13 to 15, 1945, a train with around 4,600 concentration camp prisoners stopped on a track near the station. Hundreds of prisoners died in the transport with almost no water or food. The prisoners came from the Helmstedt-Beendorf satellite camp , a satellite camp of the Neuengamme concentration camp, and were to be brought to the Wöbbelin concentration camp . The train stopped in Sülstorf because another trek from the Schandelah subcamp was blocking the siding of the Wöbbelin concentration camp. On April 15, the Sülstorf train drove to the Wöbbelin concentration camp, where the SS drove the men into the camp. For the women, the odyssey ended only on 20 and 21 April in satellite camps of Neuengamme concentration camp, the concentration camp Hamburg-Sasel , concentration camp Hamburg-Wandsbek , concentration camp Hamburg-Eidelstedt and concentration camp langenhorn . In 1947 a cemetery of honor was built opposite the train station for the dead. A memorial stone of the Jewish state community from 1951 commemorates 53 Jewish women from Hungary whose bodies were found in Sülstorf after the end of the war. The actual number of victims in the Sülstorf municipality is unknown.

coat of arms
Blazon : "In red a golden linden branch with three leaves, accompanied in the left upper corner by a silver Maltese cross."
The coat of arms and the flag were designed by the Schwerin heraldist Heinz Kippnick . It was approved together with the flag on September 21, 2000 by the Ministry of the Interior and registered under the number 229 of the coat of arms of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. |
|
Justification of the coat of arms: In the coat of arms, the main symbol, the linden branch, is intended to indicate the wooded area on the one hand and the number of leaves on the three districts on the other. The eight-pointed silver medal of the Order of Malta, founded in 1048, reminds of Sülstorf's membership of the former Johanniter Commandery Kraak, which was important for the colonization of the area. With the tinging in red and gold, the reference to the former county of Schwerin is established. |
flag
The flag is striped in red, yellow and red across the longitudinal axis of the flag cloth. The red stripes each take up a quarter, the yellow stripe takes up half the length of the flag cloth. In the middle of the yellow stripe is the municipal coat of arms, which takes up two thirds of the height and one third of the length of the flag. The length of the flag is related to the height as 5: 3.
Official seal
The official seal shows the municipal coat of arms with the inscription “• GEMEINDE SÜLSTORF • LANDKREIS LUDWIGSLUST-PARCHIM”.
