Description: The arms were granted on January 12, 1927. They are one of the oldest district arms in the Germany. The district is practically identical to the former Duchy (later Principality) of Lüneburg. The Dukes of Lüneburg were of the Welfen dynasty, that used a lion as its arms. The lion in the right part of the arms is the lion of the Welfen in opposite colours. The hearts in the left part are taken from the Danish national arms. Duke Wilhelm of Lüneburg married in the 13th century Princess Helene of Denmark.
