In Rot ein steigender silberner Wolf.

Origin/meaning

The wolf is derived from the arms of the State of Passau, to which the village belonged for many centuries until 1803. The wolf already appears in 13^th century seals of the town.

The colours of the arms were changed in the 19^th century, to distinguish the arms from those of Passau, Obernzell, Perlesreut and other towns in the State of Passau.
In 1835 the council mentioned that the lion was placed on a blue shield, the colours of Bayern, but this was not continued.
