Origin/meaning

The arms were devised in 1835 and officially granted on March 31, 1836.

The arms are based on the arms of the Knight Jakob of Pfaffenhausen, Lord of the town in the 13th century. His seal from 1335 shows a diamond split vertically. As no colours were known, black and silver were chosen and the diamond was split horizontally. The background division of silver and blue was added as the Bavarian colours. The arms were granted in 1836 by King Ludwig of Bavaria.
