History
The district was created in 1973, when the two districts Donaueschingen and Villingen were merged.
Geography
The district got its name from the two predominant landscapes in the district. The Black Forest (Schwarzwald), and the Baar, the foothills between the Black Forest and the Swabian Alb. Both the Danube River and the Neckar River have their origins in the Schwarzwald and Baar district.
Coat of arms
![]() |
The coat of arms is modeled after the two coat of arms of the cities Villingen and Schwenningen. Villingen had a horizontally divided blue-and-white arms, while Schwenningen had a vertically divided blue-and-white arms. Combining both divisions give the four fields. The eagle in the top-left quarter is taken from the coat of arms of the city Villingen, and derives from the Zähringen family who ruled that city in the 13th century. |

gollark: INI is hardly obvious *either*, given that if you don't do this sort of thing your application/parser ends up having to just arbitrarily decide how to handle some weird thing.
gollark: And that should be an *error*, instead of just guessing what they mean.
gollark: > Be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others.I don't think this is actually a good idea, which is why we have strong typing.
gollark: Which is made easier if your config file format does not assume "haha yes it is definitely all just strings".
