Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on October 12, 1970.
The eagle head is taken from the arms of medieval the Lords von Alling, who can be traced in the village up to the 14th century. The name of the village is probably derived from the personal name Allo. This, in turn can mean 'brave' and the eagle is then a symbol for bravery and thus also symbolises the village itself.
The two halberds refer to the Battle of Hoflach in 1422 in the municipality, where the Dukes of München defeated troops of their cousin Ludwig von Ingolstadt. Duke Ernst erected a small chapel in Hoflach as a reminder that his son was saved in the battle. The chapel has a fresco that shows the battle.
