Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on June 27, 1958.

The crown in the chief symbolises the old Royal estate near Roding, which dates from the 8^th century. The lower right half shows St. Gallus, the patron saint of the oldest church belonging to the estate. Since 1486 there is a St. Gallus fair in Roding. The lower left half shows the arms of Bayern, as the whole district became part of Bayern around 1200.
