BAYERISCH GMAIN
State : Bayern
District (Kreis) : Berchtesgadener Land (until 1974 Berchtesgaden
Official blazon
Geteilt; oben gerautet von Silber und Blau, unten in Rot übereinander zwei waagrechte silberne Fische.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on September 16, 1963.
The upper half shows the diamonds of Bayern and refers to the fact that the area historically belongs to Bayern. The municipality has always been on the border between Bayern and Salzburg (now Austria).
The two fish are taken from the arm of the St. Zeno abbey in Bad Reichenhall, as most of the area as well as the parish historically belonged to the abbey.
