history

Zabakuck, to which the district of Güssow still belongs, is a village of Wendish-Slavic origin and has a typical Wendish village complex with anger on which the ruins of the village church Zabakuck are located. The name Zabakuck is derived from Old Slavonic and means "frog eater".

The place Zabakuck was mentioned for the first time in 1430 as “Sabekuk” in the “Ploter Deichrecht”, an appendix to the loan book of the then Archbishop Günther II of Magdeburg .

The Zabakuck estate was pledged in the 15th century by Archbishop Stefan von Magdeburg to the Counts of Lindow-Ruppin until they died out in 1524. Then the village went back to the Archbishop of Magdeburg and was given as a fief to the von Randow family , who kept the place with the Vorwerk Güssow for 11 generations until 1757. Then Christian Ernst von Randow sold the estate to the widow Charlotte Louise von Retzow. On September 30, 1928 was Gutsbezirk Zabakuck associated with the rural community Zabakuck.

The district of Güssow was first mentioned around 1365 in Albrecht II's loan book as "Guso". Güssow is derived from the old Slavic "hansu", translated "goose". Güssow was designed by Ernst Friedrich von Byern around 1768 as Vorwerk , with dairy rebuilt, sheep and residential buildings.

For a short period from July 1, 1950 to December 31, 1956, the community Zabakuck was a district of Demsin .

badges and flags

Coat of arms
old seal of the parish of Zabakuck

The coat of arms was approved by the district on December 4, 2008.

Blazon : “Square of silver and green; Fields 1 and 4: a seated green frog turned towards the center, fields 2 and 3: a golden fire. "

The design of a coat of arms for the municipality of Zabakuck was commissioned to the Magdeburg heraldist Jörg Mantzsch in order to have an officially approved coat of arms corresponding to the rules of heraldry and an associated flag and an official seal in the seal, on the flag and in other use To lead national emblems. At the same time, the coat of arms should be  a symbol of identification with the homeland that connects the population with the place of residence - also in view of the fact that many villages are merged into unitary communities .

The municipal council decided to use a frog and fire as heraldic elements. The frog goes back to the meaning of the place name, which means "frog eater" in Old Slavonic. This does not mean the inhabitants of the place, but rather the many species of birds (heron, stork, etc.) whose food on the Stremme and in the catchment area of ​​the Havel is often frogs.

The fire goes back to a legend, according to which the landowner galloped around the village with his horse during a local fire and then led the fire out of Zabakuck, so that greater damage was avoided. This legend has been preserved in the lore of the citizens to this day.

Several stylistic and color variants were presented to the municipal council, from which the variant documented here was decided on September 19, 2008.

The main colors chosen were green for the frog, gold (yellow) for the fire and silver (white) for the Herald's pieces 1 and 4. The color green refers to the natural environment around the place.

The colors of the place are: green and silver (white).

The flag is green and white (1: 1) striped (horizontal shape: stripes running horizontally, lengthways shape: stripes running vertically) and is centered with the coat of arms.

Historical coat of arms
The community of Zabakuck already had a coat of arms- like seal image in its community seal. This was used in the period after the Second World War until around the introduction of the districts and counties in the GDR (1945–1952). Another source is the County Home Museum in Genthin.
