Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on November 13, 2008.

The arms are a combination of elements of the arms of the two former districts. The wavy bend is taken from the arms of Sächsische Schweiz.

The lion and the miner's tools are taken from the arms of the Weisseritzkreis. The lion also refers to the Counts of Meissen, as most of the area historically belonged to Sachsen-Meissen.

The miner's tools also indicate the mining in the whole area, the bend the many rivers.
