history
The coat of arms was designed by the Glaisiner heraldist Manfred Sturzenbecher in 1996.
With the springs as an old writing tool, Sturzenbecher refers to the teacher, writer and folklorist Johannes Gillhoff, who was born in Glaisin in 1861 . From 1925 to 1930 he published the Mecklenburg monthly magazine and became well known for his novel Jürnjakob Swehn der Amerikafahrer . Glaisin is also the headquarters of the Gillhoff Society, which holds an annual Gillhoff award ceremony.
The stylized castle in the coat of arms represents the castle of the knight Hermann Riebe in Glaisin from the 13th century. In 1298 this castle was destroyed by Heinrich II and his allies. The castle was stylized as its original appearance has not been passed down.
The oak leaves indicate the large oak stocks that exist in and around the municipality.
With the coat of arms colors, Sturzenbecher referred to the coat of arms colors of the Counts of Dannenberg , who ruled Glaisin in earlier times.
The approval for the use of the coat of arms was given by the decision of the Ministry of the Interior of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania on November 22, 1996.
With the incorporation of Glaisin into the city of Ludwigslust on January 1, 2005, the coat of arms lost its official validity.
