Rostock (Bezirk)

The district of Rostock, unofficially also called Baltic Sea district, was established in the course of administrative reform of 1952 in the German Democratic Republic as one of a total of 14 districts. He united the Baltic Sea near of the dissolved state of Mecklenburg -Western Pomerania, which he almost the entire Baltic Sea coast of the GDR consisted of ( a part of the coast line of the Szczecin Lagoon belonged to the district of Neubrandenburg ). The Rostock district led no crest, but occasionally the coat of arms of the city of Rostock has been used as a symbol for the district.
