History

In 1994 the district was merged with the district of Jessen and a small part of the district of Gräfenhainichen. In 2007, 27 municipalities from the former district Anhalt-Zerbst were added to the district of Wittenberg.

Coat of arms

  The coat of arms show two swords, which is the symbol of a field marshal in the Holy Roman Empire. This title was held by the counts of Saxony, who therefore added the symbol to their coat of arms. The centre of the principality of Saxony was in the district.
