Coat of arms※

District banner of Oder-Spree

The coat of arms shows symbols for the three former districts which make up the district. In the top left quarter is the coat of arms of the Bishops of Lebus, who had their seat in Fürstenwalde. The second quarter shows the checkered bar of the Cistercian Order as the symbol of the Abbey of Neuzelle, who until 1817 owned most of the territory which later became the district Eisenhüttenstadt. The two quarters in the bottom symbolize the former district Beeskow. The three knives in the left are the symbol of the Lords of Strehla, "the deer antler the symbol of the Lords of Biberstein," who in 1317 succeeded the Lords of Strehla as the Lords of Beeskow and "Storkow."
