Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on January 11, 1946.
The arms show the nettle-leaf of the former county Schauenburg-Pinneberg, which formed the largest part of the present district, and a pine tree as a symbol for the importance of forestry in the district. Between 1935 and 1946 the district used arms with the nettle-leaf and a golden crown instead of the tree. The crown was derived from the arms of the county Rantzau, which was combined in 1867 with Schauenburg-Pinneberg.
