Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on September 28, 1956.
The lion is canting for the district and is taken from the arms of the Counts of Calw, who held many estates in the district in the 13th century. The key is taken from the arms of the city of Weil der Stadt. The territories around Weil were not part of Württemberg as the surrounding areas, but belonged directly to the Emperor. The colours are taken from the arms of Württemberg.
