Laaber Coat of Arms

Shield Sable a lion´s head Or, crowned and tongued Gules, on the tips of his coronet three small lozenges white-blue-white.
Meaning:
In 1393 Lord Hadamar IV of Laaber granted the privileges of a market town. The town had been capital of the Imperial Lordship of Laaber. It was acquired by the Dukes of Bayern-Landshut in 1435. The arms display a differentiation of the Palatine lion and of the Bavarian lozenges. The grant of the arms included the right to use it on seals and banners and the obligation to place it onto both gates of the market. The lozenges before had been bigger and impending at least until 1965.
