Unna, Rural district in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany

The Unna district spans 542 square kilometers east of Dortmund, between the Ruhr and Lippe rivers, containing ten municipalities including Bergkamen and Lünen.

The district emerged from the former County of Mark, undergoing reorganization in 1929 when the administrative center transferred from Hamm to the city of Unna.

The district coat of arms displays a red and white checkered pattern combined with a red lion, representing historical connections to the Counts of Mark.
