Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on June 27, 1983.

The plant with six leaves is taken from the arms of the Panhalm family, who had their estate in the municipality in 1380. The fleur-de-lis is the symbol of St. Mary, patron saint of the church in Ruprechtshofen. The daisy (Margarite) refers to St. Margareth, patron saint of Neiderneukirchen.

Literature : Baumert, H.E. : Oberösterreichische Gemeindewappen, Linz, 1996.
