The arms show the eagle of [[Brandenburg]] as a symbol of the importance of the Markgraves of [[Nürnberg]], who ruled the largest part of the district until 1791. Markgrave Friedrich of Nürnberg took the eagle in 1415 as his arms, after he acquired Brandenburg. The upper part shows the arms of Bayern and symbolises the fact that the area around [[Kemnath]] belonged to the Wittelsbach family, the Bavarian Royal family.
