Oberhavel is a district in the northern part of Brandenburg, Germany. It's like a county in other countries.
This district was created on 6 December 1993. It was formed by joining two older districts: Gransee and Oranienburg.
What is Oberhavel's Symbol?
The district of Oberhavel has its own special symbol, called a coat of arms.
The top part of the symbol shows an eagle. This eagle is a very old and important symbol for the state of Brandenburg. The bottom part has two swans flying over a green background. These swans represent the beautiful nature of the area, which has many lakes.
