The moor's head is a false representation of St. Corbinianus, the patron saint of the diocese of Freising. St. Corbinianus was bishop of Munich in the 7<sup>th</sup> century. The picture is derived from pre-heraldic coins and it is unlikely that the bishop was a Moor. The State of Freising (it was a free state ruled by the bishops) became part of Bavaria in 1803. The moor's head is also used by some other municipalities, not only in Germany ([[Garmisch Partenkirchen]], [[Mittenwald]] and [[Ismaning]]), but also in Italy ([[Innichen]]) and Austria ([[Sankt Peter am Kammersberg]]). | The moor's head is a false representation of St. Corbinianus, the patron saint of the diocese of Freising.
