Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on February 13, 1995.
"Rohr" in this context means reed bank, so reeds were put into the shield.
The parish church is dedicated to St. Florian. St. Florian is a very popular saint, chiefly as a protector against the dangers of fire. He is often depicted with a bucket of water, extinguishing fire in a burning house.
He was martyred in today's Upper Austria, near Lorch, in the 3rd century. As a professed Christian, a millstone was tied to his neck and he was thrown into the river Enns. The millstone honours St. Florian and the crown of roses illustrates at once his martyrdom and his name, Florian being derived from Latin flos, which means flower.
