Origin/meaning
The dragon is a canting element (Lindwurm in German) and appears first on a seal dating from 1477. It has been stated that the arms were officially granted in the 15th century by the Dukes of Bayern-Landshut, but this can not be proven.
Even though the composition as such has not changed, many different variations of the arms are known. In the 16th century the worm was once shown as a panther. The colours have changed during the centuries, but have not been changed since 1811.
