Origin/meaning

Although Allersberg officially became a city in 1323 by King Lüdwig der Baier, it has always been designated as Markt (between a village and a city). The arms show a castle, with in front of it the arms of the Lords (later counts) of Wolfstein, who had their castle in Allersberg. The arms never changed, even though the town was ruled by other families and dynasties.
