Penzlin Coat of Arms

Shield is parted per pale, at dexter Or a demi-bull's head Sable couped per pale, crowned by a demi fleur-de lis Or couped per pale, armed Argent and tongued Gules, at sinister barry of ten of Gules and Argent.
Meaning:
Prince Borwin II of Rostock gained the Wustrow country as a Pomeranian fiefdom. He granted the rights of a market town to Penzlin in 1226. In 1236 the Dukes of Pommern ceded the country to the Margraves of Brandenburg (Treaty of Kremmen). Lord Nikolaus I of Werle gained the country as a fiefdom of Brandenburg. In 1263 he granted city rights according to the Schwerin pattern. The city was conquered by Brandenburg around 1276 and gained a few privileges by the margraves. From 1291 until 1304 the city was ruled by Lord Heinrich II of Werle. In 1436 the city became a dominion of Duchy of Mecklenburg. The dukes enfeoffed the Maltzan kin with Penzlin in 1501. The members of the kin remained local rulers until 1918.
The arms are based on a city seal with prints since 1328. The demi bull' head is a differentiation of the arms of the Lords of Werle, the sinister half is taken from the family arms of the Askanian kin, because the wife of Nikolaus I was a member of the Askanians. The tinctures however are those of Brandenburg

Alt-Rehse Coat of Arms

Shield parted abased per fess wavy; above parted per pale, at dexter Or a farm house Vert, at sinsiter Gules three linden leaves Or ordered 1:2, beneath Azure a fish Argent.
Meaning:
The farm house is one of 19 houses, built by the association of German medical doctors (Hartmannbund), which were built together with an academy. Its purpose was to educate doctors in terms of the national-socialist government. Lindens are the predominant species of trees. Their number is referring to the three settlement cores Alt-Rehse proper, Neu Wustrow and Wustrow. Fish and base are representing the Tollense Lake.
