Origin/meaning
On November 15, 1542 the arms were officially granted by the Counts of the Pfalz:Ottheinrich and Philipp von Pfalz-Neuburg.

In the late 15th century the seals showed the same composition, but now placed on the diamonds of Bayern. At the same time the local patron saint, St. George, appears as a supporter behind the shield.
The chief shows a lion's head, taken from the arms of the Pfalz.
