Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on September 16, 1963.

The upper half shows the diamonds of Bayern and refers to the fact that the area historically belongs to Bayern. The municipality has always been on the border between Bayern and Salzburg (now Austria).

The two fish are taken from the arm of the St. Zeno abbey in Bad Reichenhall, as most of the area as well as the parish historically belonged to the abbey.
