Wappen von Steinach (Niederbayern)

Official blazon

Eine gesenkte, eingeschweifte grüne Spitze, darin eine goldene heraldische Lilie gespalten. Vorne in Blau zwei silberne Schrägbalken, hinten in Silber ein rotes Balkenkreuz.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on February 19, 1981.

The silver bends on blue are derived from the arms of the medieval Knights of Steinach. The red cross is the symbol for the St. Tibertius monastery, which had large possessions in the former Münster municipality. The fleur-de-lys is take symbol of the Cathedral Chapter (Domkapittel) of Augsburg, which had possessions in Agendorf. The green colour is a symbol for the agricultural character of Agendorf.
