==History==

In 1867 the [[Prussia]]n administration established twenty districts in its province of Schleswig-Holstein, among them the districts of Rendsburg and Eckernförde. The present district was established in 1970 by merging the former districts.

==Coat of arms==
The coat of arms displays:
* two lions (blue on yellow) from [[coat of arms of Schleswig|the arms]] of the [[Schleswig|Duchy of Schleswig]]
* a nettle leaf (white on red) from the arms of [[Holstein]]
