The arms are one of the oldest district arms in the country. The district is practically identical to the former Duchy (later Principality) of Lüneburg. The Dukes of Lüneburg were of the Welfen dynasty, that used a lion as its arms. The lion in the right part of the arms is the lion of the Welfen in opposite colours. The hearts in the left part are taken from the [[National Arms of Denmark|Danish national arms]]. Duke Wilhelm of Lüneburg married in the 14<sup>th</sup> century Princess Helene of Denmark. The lion thus can also represent the Danish lion. | The arms are one of the oldest district arms in the country.
