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 == {| |- valign=top ||[[Image:DEU Landkreis Guestrow COA.svg|100px|Coat of arms]] ||The coat of arms displays: * the bull from the arms of Mecklenburg * two [[crosier]]s representing the former [[bishopric of Schwerin]] The colours are derived from the arms of the dissolved district of Bützow. |} == Towns and municipalities == {| |----- !''Amt''-free towns |- |valign=top| #[[Güstrow]] #[[Teterow]] |} {| ! colspan=3|[[Amt (political division)|Ämter]] |- valign=top || *'''1.
