Heraldry of the World Civic heraldry of Germany - Deutsche Wappen (Gemeindewappen/Kreiswappen) |
|
MÜNCHEN (M)
State : Bayern
Additions : 1973 Wolfratshausen (partly)
Origin/meaning :
The arms were granted on April 3, 1957 and confirmed on August 18, 1972.
The right part shows the arms of Bayern, mainly as the district is made up of several old territories (Ämter) in the Kingdom of Bayern. The left part simply shows the colours of the city of München. The wavy bend symbolises the Isar river.
