Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on January 5, 1812 by King Max I Joseph of Bavaria.

The arms are based on the oldest arms of the Wittelsbach family and with the colours of the arms of the Benedictine monastery in Scheyern. From the 13^th century until 1812 the city used a monk holding a book on its seals and arms. The monk (Pfaffe) is canting.
