Object history
Deutsch: Das Wappen des Ortenaukreises wurde zuletzt am 31. August 1973 verliehen; zunächst wurde es am 11. Oktober 1962 dem Landkreis Offenburg verliehen. Das Wappen knüpft an das Wappen des Kantons Ortenau der Reichsritterschaft an. Der Adler steht auch für die ehemals freien Reichsstädte Offenburg, Gengenbach, Zell am Harmersbach, das freie Reichstal Harmersbach sowie für die vorderösterreichische Reichslandvogtei Ortenau, bevor die Gebiete 1805 an Baden fielen. Die Gestalt des heiligen Georg ist Sinnbild der Tapferkeit und des Rittertums.
English: The arms were officially last granted on January 31, 1973 and first granted on October 11, 1962 for the district of Offenburg. The arms are based on the arms of the Kanton Ortenau of the Imperial Knights, that also showed the Imperial Eagle with the patron Saint George on an escutcheon. At least seven cities and twenty castles were owned by the Imperial Knights until 1805. The rest of the district was owned by Further Austria, as well as some local rulers.
