Origin/meaning
The arms were granted in 1488 by Duke George the Rich of Bayern-Landshut and again on May 16, 1972.
The boar's head is most likely derived from the arms of the Eberspeck family (Eber=boar). In 1467 Hans Eberspeck, vicar of Passau, bought the land on which the local church was built. All seals and later images have shown the arms as above, with the exception of some 19th century images, where the field was shown in gold.
The arms by Apian (1559)
The arms in a manuscript from 1599
The municipal stamp shown in 1892
The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925
Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
