Trivia
As an unofficial and popular name for the city of Parchim, “Pütt” has been mentioned for the first time in literature since the 1920s and is now widely used in the region. "Pütt bi Parchen" was often used by non-resident Mecklenburgers when the city was mentioned. The Low German word for “puddle” probably alluded to the size of the Parchimer Wockersee, but is now associated with the city.
