Shield Azure a brig Argent, in canton a radiant sun Or.
Meaning:
Wustrow is the main village of Fischland, a narrow strip of land between the Baltic and Saaler Bodden, a local lagoon. The village became a dominion of the Dukes of Mecklenburg since 1669. The main business lines had been agriculture, stockbreeding and fishery. From the middle of the 18th century merchant shipping became the main business line for around 100 years. Since 1881 tourism prevailed and Wustrow became a seaside resort. In 1846 a merchant navy academy was established. The sun is representing the seaside resort. The ship is representing shipping and the academy.
