coat of arms
The coat of arms of the district represents an upright, red-armored, black lion on a gold background within a red inboard, turned to the right and with a red tongue. It takes up the coat of arms of the former margraves of Meissen and supplements it with the inboard. The choice of this coat of arms expresses that the district of Meißen comprises an area that is synonymous with the historical center of the former margraviate of Meißen . The modified version was adopted by the district on March 19, 2009 because the previous version violated the rights of the heraldic society "Black Lion".

Economy and Infrastructure
economy
The region was completely changed after the fall of the previous economic structure. Numerous companies have emerged since the mid-1990s, but these have not been able to compensate for the lost jobs. Due to its proximity to Dresden , but also in the course of major economic policy efforts in recent years, the district occupies a top position among the Saxon districts. The economic structure is shaped in roughly equal parts by the manufacturing and processing industries, agriculture and viticulture, and tourism. Concentrations of industry and commerce exist mainly around the five major district towns of Meißen , Riesa , Großenhain , Coswig and Radebeul , but there have also been numerous, well-used industrial areas. Agriculture is mainly characterized by the cultivation of fruit and vegetables, while the region's wine, valued and widely known among connoisseurs, thrives on the northern slopes of the Elbe.

- Arevipharma in Radebeul

Healthcare
In 1863 a "work and supply house" was built in Meißen. The hospital in Hospitalstrasse, which was replaced in 1998 by the new building in Meißen-Bohnitzsch, was created from the infirmary for acutely ill inmates. A medical vocational school has been part of the Meissner hospital since 1992.
In Radebeul it was an association for healing and natural history that opened the first hospital in the area of Dresden in the so-called Stone House in Niederlößnitz in 1849 . The building is still part of today's Elblandklinikum . It was extensively renovated some time ago.
The Riesa hospital roots go back to 1861 when a hospital for the poor was established. In 1880 a Johanniter hospital was built in today's main street, which was closed in 1902. Which was followed by the Municipal Hospital at its present location, the only hospital of specialized care in the county. It is currently being modernized and expanded.
In 1868, the foundation stone for medical care was laid with a hospital not far from today's clinic in Großenhain. The current house was built in 1962.
While the Meißen and Radebeul houses merged to form the Meißen-Radebeul Elbland Clinics in 2002 , Riesa and Großenhain were merged in 2007 to form a plan hospital. Since April 2008, all four houses together have formed today's Elblandkliniken . With its four clinic locations, the clinic group has over 1,000 beds in the somatic and psychiatric area. Around 2,500 employees are responsible for this. The Elblandkliniken also include Elbland Polikliniken GmbH, the service subsidiary Elbland Service & Logistik GmbH, and Elblab GmbH for laboratory services. The district is a partner of the Elblandkliniken, the chairman of the supervisory board is district administrator Arndt Steinbach .
In 2013, the former acute hospital in Großenhain became the newly built Elbland rehabilitation and prevention clinic. The Elbland Rehabilitation Clinic in Großenhain is a modern, inpatient and interdisciplinary rehabilitation clinic with 125 beds. It is operated under the umbrella of the Elblandkliniken and the Recura Kliniken. On the premises of the rehabilitation clinic there is also an outpatient specialist center with a medical care center, a dialysis practice and independent specialists.
The Recura clinics also operate the specialist hospital for pneumology, allergology, respiratory medicine and thoracic and vascular surgery in Coswig with around 200 beds and the Geriatric Rehabilitation Clinic in Radeburg.
