Flag adopted 08.05.1996, according to Dirk Schönberger's Administrative Divisions of the World website. From Ralf Hartemink's International Civic Arms website:
The arms were granted on May 8, 1996. The lion is the lion of the Markgraves of Meissen, as a large part of the district historically belonged to the County of Meissen. The second field shows the canting arms of the County of Henneberg, and symbolises the parts of the district that belonged to Henneberg. The lower part shows the arms of the State of Würzburg, as the district religiously belonged to the bishops of Würzburg.Literature: H.
