Günzburg Coat of Arms

Shield parted per pale, at dexter lozengy of Argent and Azure, at sinister Argent on top of a triplemount issuant Vert an embattled tower Gules with cone roof and open port.
Meaning:
Until the end of the 18th century all seals since the early 15th century and numerous coloured paintings since 1555 displayed the tower at dexter and the Austrian shield, i.e. Gules a fess Argent, at sinister. Günzburg belonged to the Margraviate of Burgau, a part of Vorderösterreich (Hither Austria). In 1812 the area was acquired by Bayern and the lozengy pattern was introduced. After 1819 he tower was placed above of waves, representing the Günz River or on top of a triplemount. On flag there is a Spanish shield, on banner a shield in 18th/19th century style.
