Official blazon

In Blau ein aus einem goldenen Zaun im Schildfuß hervorwachsender, linksgewendeter, doppelschwänziger goldener Löwe, der in seinen Vorderpranken einen silbernen Bischofsstab hält.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on May 23, 1979.

The area was a possession of the Chapter of the Cathedral in Freising until the 14^th century. From the 14th until the late 18^th century the village was a possession of the Counts of Baumgarten. The arms thus combine the lion of the Counts of Baumgarten with a crosier for the Bishops of Freising.
