LINDAU (LI)
State : Bayern
Additions : 1973 Lindau city
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on April 11, 1978.
The arms combine the waves and the arms of Montfort of the old arms with the linden tree of the city of Lindau. The chief shows the arms of Bayern, as the area belongs since 1805 to Bayern.
The previous arms were granted on November 28, 1956.
The hand in the right part of the arms was the symbol of the imperial convent of Lindau, which owned many estates in the Western part of the district. The banner in the left half is taken from the arms of the Counts of Montfort, who also held many parts of the district. The waves in the base of the arms are a symbol for the Bodensee lake, on which the district borders.
