Origin/meaning
Kühbach received town rights in 1481 from George the Rich, Duke of Niederbayern-Landshut. At the same time the first seal was made, which already showed the canting composition of a cow (Kuh) and a stream (Bach). All later seals and images have shown the same composition, although the size and shape of the cow, and sometimes the colours, differed widely during the centuries.

The arms in a manuscript from 1599
