The municipality of Pomerode (34,010 inhabitants in 2020; 21,430 ha) is
located 160 km north-west of Florianópolis.
Pomerode, self-styled
Brazil's most German municipality, was established by Pomeranian immigrants,
therefore its name and the griffin in the municipal arms.
Municipal Law No.

secondary official language. Municipal Law No. 2,907 promulgated on 22 May 2017
established Pomeranian as the municipality's co-official language - with
Portuguese, Brazil's national language.
