history

Zickhusen was first mentioned in a document as Tsikhusen in 1284 . It remained the seat of the von Zickhusen family until the 16th century. In 1489 Heinrich von Zickhusen sold a pension from his farm to the Kalandsbruderschaft zu Schwerin. A list of all pledged leases from around 1520 indicates the decline of the noble family. The family's legal successors were the von Sperlings at the beginning of the 17th century . However, Duke Adolf Friedrich acquired the Meierhof for 9,000 guilders as early as 1618 .
While Zickhusen still had its own clergy in the early Middle Ages, the local chapel was a branch of the Alt Meteln parish as early as the 16th century. The neo-classical construction of the village church was completed in 1827.

Drispeth was a former Slavic fishing village. Here is garden peat stung.

coat of arms

Blazon : “Half-divided and split; at the top in front a silver goat's head in red; below in gold two diagonally crossed black peat spades; behind in blue a classical silver church tower with a tent roof, three day-lit arched windows above a day-lit round window and an open door. " The coat of arms and the flag were designed by Werner Große from Zickhus. It was approved together with the flag on June 12, 2009 by the Ministry of the Interior and registered under the number 324 of the coat of arms of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Reasons for the coat of arms: In the national emblem, the goat's head as a talking sign should be used to visually relate to the place name (mnd. Zick = goat). The peat spades symbolize the peat extraction that has been practiced in Drispeth since ancient times. Garden peat is still extracted there today. The church tower stands for the church building, which blends harmoniously into the villagescape of Zickhusen, the construction of which was made possible in 1827 by the sovereign Grand Duke Friedrich Franz I of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, who acts as church patron. The choice of the colors of the coat of arms fields blue, gold and red allude to the state colors of Mecklenburg.

flag

The flag is evenly striped lengthways on the leech of red and yellow, the flying end is blue. In the middle of each of the three fields is a figure from the municipality's coat of arms: in the upper corner a white goat's head; in the lower quarter two diagonally crossed black peat spades, which take up two thirds of the height of the respective strip; in the flying end a classical white church tower that takes up five sixths of the height of the flag cloth. The relation of the height of the flag cloth to the length is like 3: 5.
