'INGOLSTADT' (IN)
State : Bayern
Incorporated into : 1974 Eichstätt and city of Ingolstadt
Origin/meaning :
The arms were granted on October 11, 1962.
The arms are a combination of symbols of the former territories to which most of the district belonged. The crozier is taken from the arms of the Eichstätt abbey, as a part of the district belonged to the abbey until 1803. The lion is the lion of the Pfalz (palatinate), as a large part of the district belonged to the Pfalz.
The fox in the right part is taken from the arms of the city of Vohburg, and has been used since the 14th century.
