coat of arms

With the merger of the districts of Riesa and Großenhain to form the district of Riesa-Großenhain, a joint coat of arms became necessary in 1994. The green linden branch with a silver background, the black lion with a gold background, and the yellow gear wheel with a blue background have formed the coat of arms for the Riesa-Großenhain district since 1996.

  • The green linden branch, which was included in the Riesa coat of arms as early as 1623, stands as a natural symbol for the fact that the landscape and the environment in the unified Riesa-Großenhain district are protected with great care.
  • The black lion with its red reinforcement, which was already included in Grossenhain's coat of arms, also stands for the earlier affiliation of both regions to the Meissen marrow .
  • The cog indicates the long industrial tradition, which mainly tells of iron and steel, textile production and mechanical engineering.

economy

The region, once a centuries-old steel location (Riesa) and an agricultural region (Grossenhain), was completely changed by the collapse of the previous economic structure after the fall of the Wall . Numerous companies have emerged since the mid-1990s, but these have not been able to compensate for the jobs that have been lost. There were last 15 industrial and commercial areas in the district.

The following companies were of national importance:

License Plate

On August 1, 1994, the district was assigned the GRH distinctive sign , which has been valid since January 1, 1991 for the Grossenhain district. This was replaced on January 1, 1995 by the new distinguishing mark RG , which was issued until July 31, 2008. Due to the license plate liberalization , it has been available in the Meißen district since November 9, 2012.

Until about the year 2000, vehicles from the sub-circles were given special identification numbers:
