Origin/meaning
The arms were granted by Duke Albrecht IV of Bayern on the Thursday before St. Margareth in 1494. The blue and silver colours are derived from the arms of the Wittelsbach family, Dukes of Bayern. The vine symbolises the then very important viticulture in the area. The arms thus have not changed since.
The arms by Apian (1559)
