Origin/meaning
The new arms were granted on May 9, 1975.
The new arms show the lion of Hessen, the lower part shows an oak leaf, taken from the arms of Hofgeismar district, and a wolf's hook, as a canting symbol for the Wolfhagen district.
The previous arms were granted on April 2, 1952.

The lower part shows three hills for the typical hilly terrain in the district, as well as symbols for the mining industry and the agriculture.
