===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The arms were granted on June 19, 1997. | |||
The golden lion and the crane are derived from the arms of the Lords of Reuss, who ruled the largest part of the district for many centuries. A small part of the district belonged to one of the Duchies of Sachsen, hence the base of the shield, which shows a simplified version of the arms of Sachsen. | |||
From 1991-1997 the district used different arms (see below), which were never officially granted. The elements are the same as described above. | |||
