Dömitz Coat of Arms

In a silver (=white) shield is a red fortress masoned black with a closed silver (=white) gate. The fortress consists of an embattled wall topped by an embattled tower.
Meaning:
The city had the most important fortress of Mecklenburg for centuries. This is probably symbolised by the coat of arms, which is based on the prints of city seals from 1297 and the 14th century, the latter with circumscription nearly completely lost.
Sources: Stefan Schwoon's database and Ralf Hartemink's webpage
Klaus-Michael Schneider, 15 Oct 2011

The flag was approved on 2 August 1996 by Minister of Interior of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. According to Günther 1999 the flag was in use even earlier. The arms were granted on 10 April 1858 by Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. Both were published in the Municipal Roll of Arms Mecklenburg-Vorpommern as no.55

Village Republic of Rüterberg (Dorfrepublik Rüterberg)

Introduction

Taylor Hans Rasenberger on 24 October 1989 applied for an assembly of the inhabitants, which was according to the laws reported to the ministry of state's security (STASI). The assembly was permitted on 8 November 1989. The 90 inhabitants, delegates from Ludwigslust county and observers from police and border troops took part in the assembly.
Rasenberger presented to them a declaration, claiming a village republic having own laws and being no longer domineered by GDR government. The inhabitants decided the foundation of a village republic concordantly. The reason was the nearly complete isolation of Rüterberg, not only completely from the BRD but also from the GDR.
One day later, the Berlin Wall fell down and the isolation was broken.
On 14 July 1991 the municipality of Rüterberg was entitled by the Minister of Interior of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern to add the title "Dorfrepublik 1961-1989" on the nameplates at its boundaries. In 2001 the inscription was replaced by "Dorfrepublik 1967-1989". This remained valid until 21 October 2002. In 2004 the municipality of Rüterberg was incorporated into the city of Dömitz.

"Republican" Coat of Arms

The shield has a wavy base topped by a hill. In front of the hill stands a knight in full armour holding in his hands a sword and a shield divided twice per fess. Above the shield is an inscription: Dorfrepublik (between inverted commas, 1st line) Rüterberg (bigger, Gothic, 2nd line.)
Meaning:
The colours were those of the former flag of Mecklenburg. Knight, hill and waves also appear in the coat of arms of the municipality. The draft was made bei Detlev Rasenberger, the son of Hans, in 1980.
