The monk (Mönch) is a canting symbol. The monk already appears as a canting symbol on the first seals of the city, which date from 1239 and 1268. The seals show a gate with the monk and above the gate the imperial eagle, probably derived from the arms of the Bishops of Freising, who were free imperial rules (i.e. immediately subordinate to the King/Emperor), to which the city belonged. Since 1313 the lion replaced the eagle, as the city now was a possession of the Wittelsbach family, Dukes of Bayern. The lion is the oldest symbol for the Wittelsbach family, which commonly used a blue shield with silver diamonds (see the arms of [[Bayern]]). | The monk (Mönch) is a canting symbol.
