coat of arms
Blazon : "In gold between two blue wave poles an upright red armored and tongued black lion."
Heraldic concern was to develop a coat of arms with which both former districts of Delitzsch and Torgau-Oschatz can identify. So a symbol had to be found, the message of which relates to both of the former districts mentioned.
The margraviate of Meißen and the margraviate of Landsberg, from which the later ruling Wettins came from, had formative significance in regional history . The margraves of Meissen had a red-armored black lion in their gold coat of arms. This was also included in the coats of arms of the two former districts.
The wavy bar shown in the district coat of arms of Torgau-Oschatz as a symbol for the Elbe and its landscape was taken over into the new coat of arms and supplemented by another, which stands for the Mulde flowing through the new district of northern Saxony. Both rivers and their scenic as well as economically significant floodplains have been heraldically considered in the new district coat of arms as a regional specialty. The heraldic placement of the river symbols in a vertical form as blue wave poles is reminiscent of the Wettin family coat of arms, which shows two blue poles in gold.
The coat of arms was designed by Manfred Fischer from Goßwitz.
flag
Three horizontal stripes of the same width in the colors yellow - blue - yellow with the county coat of arms in the middle, which extends evenly into the two yellow stripes.
The flag in portrait format (banner) consists of three equally wide vertical stripes in the colors yellow - blue - yellow and bears the vertical county coat of arms in the upper half, which extends evenly into the two yellow stripes.
