There’s another German I tested some time ago at AncestryDNA.
The ancestry is 4/4 Western Mecklenburg.
The results are extremely "northwestern" with only 8% that can be attributed to Slavic.
In fact I've seen somewhat diverse results from Western Mecklenburg. The reason for this somewhat heterogeneity will be that Mecklenburg had huge population losses during the 30 Year's War and notable parts were re-settled from Schleswig-Holstein, others from Brandenburg (after 1648). Unfortunately the local church records do not go back that far.
