Shield Argent three bars Azure; mantled, at dexter Gules a tube well Argent, at sinister Sable a fleur-de-lis Or.
Meaning:
The well (German: Brunnen) is canting. The base quarter displays the family arms of the Lords of Laaber. The fleur-de-lis is an attribute of Our Lady of Assumption, patron saint of the Cistercian Pielenhofen Nunnery,, which owned local estates. It is also alluding to the Marian pilgrimage in Frauenberg. The tinctures white, blue, black and gold are referring to the Wittelsbach kin, who acquired the Lordship of Laaber in 1463.
