The coat of arms of the district of Lahr showed in gold a red crowned and red-tongued black lion with a red bar underneath. The coat of arms was awarded to the Lahr district on September 30, 1960 by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of the Interior .
The red bar stands for the former county of Geroldseck , to which 6 communities belonged before 1803. The Mahlberger lion stands for the eponymous rule of the margraves of Baden-Baden, to which a large part of the district area also belonged.

On March 7, 1968, the state parliament of Baden-Württemberg set the course for a community reform . With the law to strengthen the administrative power of smaller municipalities , it was possible for smaller municipalities to voluntarily unite to form larger municipalities. The beginning in the Lahr district was made on July 1, 1971 by the municipality of Wallburg, which merged with the city of Ettenheim, and the municipality of Schönberg, which merged with the municipality of Seelbach. In the period that followed, the number of municipalities steadily decreased until the Lahr district was finally dissolved on January 1, 1973.
The largest municipality in the district was the large district town of Lahr / Black Forest , the smallest municipality was Wittelbach.
