Hemau.jpg

Official blazon

In Blau der golden gerüstete heilige Georg mit goldenem Topfhelm auf einem mit goldener Decke (Pferdemantel) geschützten weißen Rosse mit der Fahnenlanze (silbernes Tuch mit rotem Kreuze) und dem silbernen, mit rotem Kreuz gezierten Armschild rechtshin sprengend.

Origin/meaning

The arms show St. George, dressed as a knight and, unusually, not with the dragon. St. George was the patron saint of the Benedictine Abbey of Prüfening, to which the parish Hemau belonged until 1803.

The arms have been used since the early 14th century, as the oldest seal (known since 1324) already shows the knight. All later seals and images show the knight, but the shape and colours have changed regularly. The present colours are known since 1609.
