Origin/meaning

The arms were granted in 1936 and show in the lower half a salt bucket. Salt transport and mining was locally very important and the old name of the municipality was Salzburghofen (Salz=salt).

The bucket is also a symbol for St. Rupert, the area historically belonged to the so-called Rupertiwinkel, a part of the State of Salzburg.
The horse is a symbol of freedom and a canting symbol (the name can be translated as freed).

Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
