MAISACH
State : Bayern
District (Kreis) : Fürstenfeldbruck
 Origin/meaning:
The arms were devised and granted in 1964 and were not based on older seals or images, as no were known. The arms show a sword on the arms of the Lords of Weilheim. Maisach became a possession of the Lords of Weilheim in 1200, as successors of the Lords of Maisach. Later the village became a possession of the monastery in Ettal. The village had its own court of justice and rather much freedom. This special status is reflected by the sword.
