Geography The district is located in the Swabian-Franconian mountains (Schw�bisch-Fr�nkischen Bergland). The two rivers Rems and Murr gave the district its name.
The coat of arms shows a deer antler in the middle, the symbol of the former state of W�rttemberg. The two wavy lines above and below symbolize the two rivers Rems and Murr, which also gave the district its name. |
