Official blazon

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on December 5, 1994.

The arms are based on the seal of the town from the late 18th century (known since April 9, 1763). This seal showed a shield with a raven on a mountain, holding a branch with three acorns and standing before a gate. As no colours were known, the colours were chosen arbitrarily.

Peuerbach received the right to have its own seal in 1699. The oldest known seal only showed a bird holding a branch and standing on a mountain. The type of branch could not be determined.The raven is most likely derived from the arms of the Schifer family, who owned most of the town in the 14th century. The origin of the acorns is not known, but they were used in 1663 on the official uniform of the market officials. The gate symbolises that the town was on the border against Bayern in the 18th century.
