History

The city of Coburg has largely influenced the history of the district. From 1826 to 1918, the region was part of the small duchy of

Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (see Thuringia). In a referendum
from 1919, the Coburg portion of this state decided to join Bavaria (united in 1920). The present district is identical to that portion but excludes Coburg and the exclave of Königsberg, which is part of Haßberge district. The city of Neustadt was a district-free city until 1972 and was then incorporated into the district.

Geography

The district is located in the hilly country between the

Thuringian Slate Mountains and the Main
valley.

Economy

In 2017 (latest data available) the GDP per inhabitant was €27,145. This places the district 89th out of 96 districts (rural and urban) in Bavaria (overall average: €46,698).[2]

Coat of arms

The arms consist of the blue and white checkered pattern of Bavaria and the arms of the

Wettin dynasty of Saxony
. These arms represent the historic affiliations to both states.
