History

The district was formed in 1972 by merging the district Gunzenhausen, Weißenburg, and the previously district-free city Weißenburg.

Coat of arms

The symbol in the bottom of the coat of arms derives from the Counts of Pappenheim, and was taken from the coat of arms of the former district Weißenberg. The imperial eagle to the right stands for the city of Weißenburg, and the bars in the left are taken from the coat of arms of the former district Gunzenhausen.
