coat of arms

Blazon : “In red, two diagonally crossed golden ears of wheat with nine black awns each; accompanied on both sides and below by a six-spoke golden wheel. "

The coat of arms and the flag were designed by the Schwerin heraldist Heinz Kippnick . It was approved together with the flag on November 25, 1999 by the Ministry of the Interior and registered under No. 199 of the coat of arms of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Justification of the coat of arms: In the coat of arms, the ears of wheat symbolize the traditional main occupation of the inhabitants, agriculture, especially grain cultivation. On the one hand, the wheels are intended to indicate the rest area on the motorway and, on the other hand, the number of the three districts.

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 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 STOLPE • LANDKREIS LUDWIGSLUST-PARCHIM”.
