The Wetteraukreis is a Kreis (district) in the middle of Hesse, Germany. Neighbouring districts are Gießen, Vogelsbergkreis, Main-Kinzig, district-free Frankfurt, Hochtaunuskreis, Lahn-Dill.
History
The district was created in 1972 when the two districts Friedberg and Büdingen were pooled together.
Geography
The district is located between the Taunus mountains and the Vogelsberg vulcanic mountain. The main river of the district is the Nidda.
Coat of arms
 |
The imperial eagle in the top of the coat of arms was chosen because the Wetterau was imperial possession in the past. The bars in the bottom derive from the lords of Isenburg-Büdingen, who owned most of the area. The wavy line depicts the river Wetter which flows through the capital Friedberg. |
