The upper part of the arms shows the lion of the Welfen dynasty, Dukes of Braunschweig. The largest part of the district was part of the main possession of the Welfen dynasty since the 13th century. The lower part shows the arms of the Counts of Plesse, who ruled the northern part of the district until 1571.
