Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on May 22, 1962.

The arms are a combination of the arms of the Lords of Schwabegg-Ursberg (eagle) and the Lords of Freyberg. The first family founded two monasteries in the district, which played a major role in its history. The Lords of Freyberg owned for a long time the Estate Niederraunau in the district.
