Güstrow (IPA: [ˈgʏstʁo]) is a former district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany.

History

From 1621 to 1695 the present-day district was the small duchy of Mecklenburg-Güstrow. Afterwards large parts belonged to the duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, and a small part to the duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (see Mecklenburg).

The district of Güstrow was made in 1994 by joining the old districts of Güstrow, Teterow and Bützow.

Coat of arms

The coat of arms displays:
  • the bull from the arms of Mecklenburg
  • two crosiers representing the former bishopric of Schwerin

The colours are derived from the arms of the dissolved district of Bützow.
