Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on May 15, 1981.

The lower part is derived from the arms of the Gotteszell monastery, which played a major role in the local history. The red field was changed into blue, to obtain the colours of Bayern. The chief shows a cross, symbol of St. Andrew, the patron saint of the town. The green colour symbolises the Bayrischen Wald forests.
