The right half shows the quartered shield of the Markgraves of Nürnberg of the hohenzollern dynasty, who ruled the largest part of the district until 1806-10. The eagle is taken from the arms of the Imperial city of Bad Windsheim. The city was a free imperial area until 1803, when it became part of Bayern.
