Object history
Deutsch: Das Wappen des Rhein-Hunsrück Kreises wurde am 6. Januar 1972 vom rheinland-pfälzischen Innenministerium verliehen. Die Symbole stehen für die ehemaligen Herrschaften, die sich das Kreisgebiet früher teilten: Der Schachbalken im Schildhaupt steht für die Grafschaft Sponheim, der Löwe für die Kurfürsten von der Pfalz und der Adler für die ehemaligen freien Reichsstädte Oberwesel und Boppard.
English: The arms were granted on January 6, 1972. The arms combine elements form the two former district arms. The chief (fess chequy) is derived from the oldest arms of the Counts of Sponheim, the eagle represents the former imperial cities Boppard and Oberwesel. The lion is the lion of Palatinate; all symbols were part of both former district arms, the districts of Simmern and Sankt Goar.
