BISCHOFSWIESEN
State : Bayern
District (Kreis) : Berchtesgadener Land (until 1973 Berchtesgaden)
Official blazon
In Blau auf grünem Boden eine goldene Scheune, der zwei schräg gekreuzte silberne Bischofsstäbe unterlegt sind.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on August 16, 1929.
The rms are partly canting; the two crosiers and the green base symbolise the Bishop (Bischof) and meadow (Wiese) parts of the name.
The building is a typical shed used in the area. The colours are the colours of Bayern, as the village is part of Bayern since 1809.
