Coat of arms

  In the right half of the coat of arms are the chevrons from the arms of the counts of Ravensberg, who owned part of the district's land. The keys are the sign of the Prince-Bishops of Minden after their patron Saint Peter. After the district joined Lübbecke a second key was added, to symbolize the two historic parts. This new arms were granted in 1973.
