Unter Schildhaupt mit den bayerischen Rauten in Gold über absteigender silberner Zinnenmauer wachsend ein rot gezungter, schwarzer Bär.
Origin/meaning
Grafenau became a city in 1376. The arms were granted in 1508 by Duke Friedrich van Pfalz-Neuburg.
The upper part shows the diamonds of the Wittelsbach dynasty, from which the Duke descended. The lower part shows a city wall as a symbol for the city rights, whereas the bear is taken from the arms of the historical Lordship Bärnstein, in which the city was situated. The arms have thus never changed since.
 The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
