Coat of Arms

Renaissance shield Or a bend Sable charged with five connected bells Argent.
Meaning:
The municipality adopted the arms of the Augustine Bernried Convent, which moulded the village spiritually and as ruler of the local district (Bavarian: Hofmark) until 1803. The convent was founded in 1120 by Count Otto of Valley. His kin died out in 1238. The arms of the family displayed a bend vair shaped like bells. The existence of the bar with bells in the arms of the convent is proven since 1568.

The banner has never been approved officially. The arms were approved on 9 March 1951 by Minister of Interior of Bayern.
