STRAUBING-BOGEN (SR)
State : Bayern
Additions : 1972 Straubing, Bogen, Mallersdorf (partly)
Origin/meaning :
The arms were granted on April 8, 1974.
The arms are mainly based on the old arms of Straubing, but in the upper part a figurine of the H. Madonna is added. This symbolises the important Maria pilgrimage to the Bogenberg in the district, and was taken from the arms of the former Bogen district.
Literature : Linder and Olzog, 1996.
