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. 
2,251 promulgated on 1 September 2020 established German as the municipality's 
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.
