history

Spornitz was first mentioned in a document around 1300 as Sporniz . The place name is derived from the Old Slavic word sporŭ for abundant or fertile . The place name should indicate the fertile environment. It is also possible to derive it from the locator of the village, descendants of Zbron .

On July 1, 1950, the previously independent municipality of Steinbeck-Primank was incorporated.

coat of arms

Blazon : "In green, two diagonally crossed golden gable boards with turned away horse heads, accompanied by seven silver stones placed on each side."

The coat of arms and the flag were designed by the Schwerin heraldist Heinz Kippnick . It was approved together with the flag on March 16, 2001 by the Ministry of the Interior and registered under number 239 of the coat of arms of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Reasons for the coat of arms: In the coat of arms, the diagonally crossed horse heads stand for the Lower Saxon farmhouses that characterize the village, the stones for the prehistoric finds in the municipality. The seven stones - large blocks of granite - probably represent the enclosure of a prehistoric monument.

flag

The flag is striped in green, yellow and green across the longitudinal axis of the flag cloth. The green 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 of the flag. The relation of the height of the flag cloth to the length is like 3: 5.

Official seal

The official seal shows the municipal coat of arms with the inscription "• GEMEINDE SPORNITZ • LANDKREIS LUDWIGSLUST-PARCHIM".
