Origin/meaning

The village of Bruck (from bridge) received town rights in 1306 and became a possession of the Fürstenfeld Abbey in 1342. The name hence became Fürstenfeldbruck.

The arms were granted on June 4, 1936 and are based on an image by Mielich and Apian in a roll of arms from 1565. The bridge is a canting element, the cross probably indicates the Abbey and the chief shows the arms of Bayern.

The previous arms were granted on July 13, 1813 by King Max I Joseph of Bayern. The arms showed a bridge with three crosses above the bridge, see image below.
