Origin/meaning
The arms were granted in 1558 by Duke Albrecht V of Bavaria. The field is taken from the arms of the Lords of Moosburg, as the town was a possession of these counts in the Middle ages. The mountain is canting (Berg). The plough iron is a local symbol and stands for agriculture. Even though the iron is often misinterpreted and misdrawn, the arms have never changed since.
In two Rolls of Arms from 1562 and 1565 the new arms were not yet added; both show a monk as a canting symbol (Pfaffe).
The arms by Apian (1559)
The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925
Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
