In 1816/17 the two districts of Siegen and Wittgenstein were created as parts of the Prussian province of Westphalia. In 1974 the two districts were merged, and in 1984 the name Siegen-Wittgenstein was adopted.
Geographically it covers the hills southeast of the Sauerland hills, the Siegerland.

The two upper sections show, to the right, the arms of the Dukes of Nassau, who founded Siegen, and to the left, those of the Counts of Sayn-Wittgenstein. At the bottom a miner's lamp and a coppicing hook are depicted, in reference to the mining and charcoal-burning history of the district. |
