Meaning:
The arms combine elements from the arms of the territories to which the district historically belonged: the lion of the Margraves of Meißen, the arms of the Lords of Sonneberg in the second quarter, in the third quarter the arms of the Counts of Schaumberg-Rauenstein and in the fourth quarter the arms of Saxony.
