METTMACH
State : Oberösterreich
District : Ried im Innkreis
| German | Geviert von Gold und Grün; 1 ein blauer, schräglinker Wellenbalken, 2 ein silbernes, aus dem Schildrand hervorbrechendes Rüsseltier (Gomphoterium), 3 und 4 zwei farbgewechselte, abgewendete, durch ein zusammengeknotetes Band verbundene Theatermasken, die rechte heiter, die linke ernst. |

Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on June 13, 1983.
The first quarter shows the Mettmacher Ache, a small river running through the town. The second quarter shows the head of a mammoth or a mastodont, as in the local quarries often teeth and bones of either animal were found. The lower part shows two masks as a symbol for the Mettmacher Easter festival which are held every 5 years and which are famous throughout the country.
Literature : Baumert, H.E. : Oberösterreichische Gemeindewappen, Linz, 1996.
