History

The district was created in 1973, when the district Waiblingen was merged with most of the district Backnang and few municipalities from the district SchwÃÂ¤bisch GmÃÂ¼nd.

Geography

The district is located in the Swabian-Franconian mountains (SchwÃÂ¤bisch-FrÃÂ¤nkischen Bergland). The two rivers Rems and Murr gave the district its name.

Coat of arms

The coat of arms shows a deer antler in the middle, the symbol of the former state of WÃÂ¼rttemberg. The two wavy lines above and below symbolize the two rivers Rems and Murr, which also gave the district its name.
