Würzburg is a Landkreis (district) in the northwestern part of Bavaria, Germany.

The city Würzburg is not part of the district, although it is completely enclosed by it.

[2] The district has sister city-like partnerships with these regions: The district coat of arms might be described thus: Per fess in chief gules dancetty of three argent, in base per pale argent two lions passant guardant sable armed and langued of the first and azure a fleur-de-lis Or.

In chief (the upper part of the coat of arms) is the "Franconian Rake", the symbol of the former Bishopric of Wurzburg.

In base, on the dexter (armsbearer’s right, viewer’s left) side, the fleur-de-lis is the symbol of the St. Burkhard Abbey in Würzburg, while the lions on the sinister (armsbearer’s left, viewer’s right) side derive from the coat of arms of the former Ochsenfurt district.
