Meaning:
The branch is symbolising the local woods. The number of leaves is symbolising the parts of the municipality Boldela, Sülstorf proper and Sülte. The cross is alluding to the important role of the Order of St.John in the past. In 1227 Gunzelin II and Heinrich I, both Counts of Schwerin, donated the village to the order. The donation was confirmed in 1269. The knights of the order built a church. Since 1275 there was a commandery of the order in the village, which moved however to Kraak in the 14th century. In 1358 the commandery was sold together with the County of Schwerin and became a dominion of the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin.
