Shield Gules chapé embowed reversed Argent, pointing to the central peak of a triplemount issuant Gules, and charged with a vulture volant Argent armed Or.
Meaning:
The arms without vulture had been those of the Cistercian Aldersbach Monastery, which gained the right of patronage over the local parish church, first mentioned in 1209. The existence of those arms is proven since 1444. The vulture (German: Geier), impending over a valley (German: Tal), represented by he embowed V-shaped line of partition, together are canting.
