History
The district was made in 1993 by joining the old districts of Bernau and Eberswalde.
The district is in the same place as the area of forest where noblemen started hunting in the 13th century, but is smaller than the old region.
Coat of arms
| Coat of arms | The coat of arms of the district is like the coat of arms of the former district Oberbarnim.

The eagle in the top half is the eagle of Brandenburg. |
