Elbe-Elster District, Administrative district in Brandenburg, Germany

The Elbe-Elster District spans 1,889 square kilometers of rural landscapes between the Elbe River and Black Elster River in southern Brandenburg.

The district emerged in 1993 through the consolidation of three separate districts: Finsterwalde, Bad Liebenwerda, and Herzberg, following German reunification.

The district maintains partnerships with Märkischer Kreis and participates in the Route of Reformation, highlighting regional traditions through year-round festivals.

Herzberg serves as the administrative capital, housing district offices at Ludwig-Jahn-Straße 2, with direct access to governmental services for residents.

The district's coat of arms combines a lion from Meissen, black bars from Saxony-Wittenberg, and red bars from Brandenburg, representing its historical connections.
