<!--== History ==-->
== Geography ==
 
The district consists of hilly countryside between the rivers of the [[Danube]] and the [[Iller]]. The Danube crosses the district in its westernmost part from south to north. The Iller forms the eastern border of the district. Another river is the [[Riss (river)|Riss]] (Riß), an affluent of the Danube crossing the district from south to north.
 
The [[Federsee]] is a small lake in the southwest of the district. Its area is only 1.4 &nbsp;km²<sup>2</sup>, but it is famous for [[Neolithic]] findings and rare birds.
 
== Media ==
The local newspaper is the [http://www.schwaebische.de/ ''[Schwäbische Zeitung'']] ("Swabian Newspaper"). Biberach has also a [http://www.biberacherfilmfestspiele.de film festival] for German films which celebrated its 31st anniversary in 2009.

The [[imperial eagle]] symbolizes the imperial city of Biberach. Originally the coat of arms of the city showed an eagle as well as a [[beaver]] as a canting symbol. In 1488 the coat of arms of the city was changed to show only the beaver. The crosier symbolises the monasteries of the region.
