history

In 1270 Witzin was first mentioned as a church village, which belonged to the Bützow Archidiaconate. In 1309 , Prince Heinrich II of Mecklenburg enfeoffed the knight Ludolf von Ganzow with a raise of 20 Mark Bede from the village for a capital loaned by him. In the 14th century, most of the village belonged to the von Ganzow family through nepotism . The of Pressentin had there two courtyards and eight hooves. In 1408, the entire property of the Pressentins went to the Tempzin monastery through purchase , and two years later the Ganzow property as well. In the course of secularization , the area was enfeoffed to the Lords of Pedersdorf. In 1625 the Domanialgut was still in pledge possession of the ducal Brunswick council and court marshal Hans von Petersdorff . After that, the domanial leasehold and the farming village of Witzin belonged to the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg and the Warin-Neukloster-Sternberg-Tempzin office. After 1945 the place belonged first to the state of Mecklenburg and then from 1952 to 1990 to the district of Schwerin .

The name refers to the Slavic word vitŭ for profit . The name refers to the Slavic locator of the place and means place of the Vitek .

The district of Loiz was first mentioned in a document on March 31, 1328, when Prince Heinrich II of Mecklenburg donated a vicariate to the Sternberg town church . This was provided with income from the place.

On July 1, 1950, the previously independent municipality Loiz was incorporated.

coat of arms

Blazon : “A curved golden tip in blue, covered with a four-spoke, twelve-blade blue mill wheel; in front two diagonally crossed golden gable boards with turned away horse heads; behind a broken golden abbot's staff. " The coat of arms and the flag were designed by the Schwerin heraldist Karl-Heinz Steinbruch . It was approved together with the flag on August 11, 2005 by the Ministry of the Interior and registered under No. 299 of the coat of arms of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Explanation of the coat of arms: In the coat of arms, the mill wheel is intended to remind of the great economic importance of the Witziner mills, which were demonstrably in operation from the middle of the 14th century to the 20th century. With the diagonally crossed gable boards, according to the design principle of the pars pro toto, reference is made to the Lower Saxon farmhouses that characterize the village image. The broken abbot's staff stands as a symbol for the almost 150-year membership of a part of today's Witzin parish in the former Antoniterpreceptory in Tempzin.
