Origin/meaning
The arms first appear on the oldest known seal of the town, dating from 1514. The arms basically have not changed since, except for several variations in colour and the number of points to the comb.
The chief shows the diamonds of the Wittelsbach family, Dukes of Bayern and Lords of Eschlkam since 1204. The lower part shows a canting comb (Kamm in German).
The arms by Apian (1559)
The arms in a manuscript from 1599
The arms on a municipal stamp (1892)
The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925
Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes; Hupp, O: Kaffee Hag albums, 1920s
