PFAFFENHOFEN AN DER ILM (PAF)
State : Bayern
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on April 18, 1963 and confirmed on July 4, 1974.
The arms show in the left half a branch of hops, as hops culturing is of great importance in the district. The right half combines the diamonds of the Wittelsbach family (and Bayern) with a symbol for the Benedictine monastery at Scheyern. In the early 12th century the Wittelsbach family were Counts of Scheyern and turned their ancestral castle into a monastery in 1118.
