====Official blazon==== 
*(de) Auf rotem Grund ein silberfarbiges eintürmlges Kasteli mit Zin nen, das auf einem grünen Rasen steht. Ober dem Tor, dessen Fallgitter aufgezogen ist, findet sich das Wappen des Hochstiftes Freising, nämlich ein silberfarbiger und mit Gold ein gefaBter Schild, der die Büste eines Negerfürsten mit rotem Wams und goldener Zackenkrone zeigt.
*(it) Di rosso, alla torre di due palchi merlati alla ghibellina d’argento fondata su una campagna di verde, aperta di nero e saracinescata d’argento, finestrata sotto il secondo palco di tre dello stesso 1.2, caricata sotto il primo palco d’uno scudetto d’azzurro bordato d’oro alla testa di moro al naturale, orecchinato e collarinato di rosso, coronato d’un diadema d’oro.

====Origin/meaning====
The arms were allegedly granted in 1303 by King Albert of Austria, when the city rights were granted. 

The castle is the local castle, which was ruined in the 1340s. The small arms show the arms of the diocese of [[Freising]], as the church of Freising (in southern Bavaria) owned a large part of the area since its foundation in 770 until 1803.
