Object history
Deutsch: Das Wappen wurde am 2. Februar 1976 von der Bezirksregierung Koblenz genehmigt. Die sieben Basaltsäulen stehen für die sieben Verbandsgemeinden, in denen Basalt und Quarz vorkommt, während die Kanne mit den drei Medaillons die drei Verbandsgemeinden des sogenannten Kannenbäckerlandes symbolisiert, in denen das Töpferhandwerk und die keramische Industrie beheimatet sind. Der grüne Schrägbalken symbolisiert den Erholungswert des Kreises mit seinen Wäldern und Wiesen.
English: The arms were granted on February 2, 1976. The lower part of the arms show seven basalt pillars, symbolising the volcanic origin of the Westerwald, which can be found in seven municipalities (Verbandsgemeinden) in the district. The jug in the upper part symbolises the formerly important pottery industry in the district. The bendlet vert symbolises the landscape of the district.
