Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on March 21, 1967.
The hill and the crown refer to the church Maria Beinberg on the Beinberg hill. The crown thus symbolises St. Mary. The church was an important place of pilgimage for a long time since the 16th century.
The hill is shown rather steep as a canting element (gache=steil meaning steep) as is the wavy bar (bach=stream, brook). The blue and silver colours refer to the ruling house of Bayern, the Wittelsbach family, as the area was an immediate possession of the family for a long time.
