Coats of arms of German Districts - Wappen der Landkreise | '''Coats of arms of German Districts - Wappen der Landkreise''' | ||
Germany is divided into just over 300 districts (Landkreise) and a number of Free Urban Districts (Stadtkreis, Kreisfreie Stadt). | |||
In the 1960s/70s a large number of districts in West-Germany merged, reducing the number of districts by more as half. In the 1990s and in 2007/8 similar reorganisations took place in the former DDR. | |||
In total around 750 (former) districts used arms. | |||
