Heraldry of the World Civic heraldry of Germany - Deutsche Wappen (Gemeindewappen/Kreiswappen) |
|
ERDING (ED)
State : Bayern
Origin/meaning :
The arms were granted on October 9, 1953 and confirmed on October 31, 1972.
The arms show in the chief the arms of Bayern (Bavaria) and are a reminder of the fact that the Dukes of Bavaria had one of their castles in the area. The horse on the one hand symbolises the fact that the area is the area of Bavaria with the most horses. On the other hand the horse was part of the arms of the Counts of Haag, whose original castle, the Fraunberg, is in the district.
