NEUKIRCHEN VORM WALD
State : Bayern
District (Kreis) : Passau
Official blazon
Über blauem Schildfuß eine eingeschweifte silberne Spitze, belegt mit einem aus dem unteren Schildrand wachsenden silbernen barocken Kirchturm mit schwarzem Dach, vorne in Rot eine silberne heraldische Rose, hinten geteilt von Rot und Blau, oben ein silberner Pfahl.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on August 10, 1987.
The tower symbolises the local St. Martin's church. The rose is taken from the arms of the Mautner von Katzenberg family, the left half is taken from the Taufkirchen family. Both played a major role in the local history. The blue and silver behind the church are the colours of Bayern.
