Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on October 27, 1950 and replaced older arms dating from July 16, 1929.

The original arms showed in blue the local military memorial chapel on a green hill. The present arms show the eagle of the diocese of Chiemsee, to which the village belonged from 1275-1804. The shape of the silver field is canting (Winkl=corner). The tree and axe symbolise the fact that the village was founded during the second round of cleaning the forests in the Chiemgau area in the 11th and 12^th century.

Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
