Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on November 23, 1964.

The arms were newly devised and were not based on older seals or images, as no were known. The arms show a sword on the arms of the Lords of Weilheim. Maisach became a possession of the Lords of Weilheim in 1200, as successors of the Lords of Maisach. Later the village became a possession of the monastery in Ettal. The village had its own court of justice and rather much freedom. This special status is reflected by the sword.

Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
