Origin/meaning

The arms were granted in the late 17th century.

The arms show the statue of the Madonna of Altötting in Bavaria. The village developed around the castle of the Counts of Lesago Paradies and when one countess was saved after a flood in 1662, her husband made a pilgrimage to Altötting and devoted his chapel to the Madonna of Altötting. He renamed the settlement Neu Öttingen and the village received town rights and arms. The letters around the Madonna stand for Santa Maria Neo Œttingensis.

Widimsky indicated that the flood happened in 1662 and that the arms were granted by Emperor Ferdinand III. The latter, however, died in 1657, so either the date of the flood is wrong, or the arms were granted by Emperor Leopold.
