Peiting Coat of Arms

Shield lozengy of Argent and Azure a bend sinister Gules.
Meaning:
Peiting had been a castle of the Welfen kin. In 1438 Duke Ernst of Bayern-München granted the rights of a market town. Neither are older seals known nor was the town mentioned in the old Bavarian armourials from the 16th century. Thus local seals didn't display the arms until the middle of the 20th century. Otto Hupp described the arms but didn't paint them. The amrs weer known by an old club flag and a window of a local chapel, which was built between 1655 and 1660 and dedicated to St. Mary. Peiting lost its market town rights (date not given) but regained them in 1958.

The arms were granted on 28 May 1438 by Duke Ernst of Bayern-München and confirmed on 24 April 1836 by Minister of Interior of Bayern. Banners and flag have never been approved officially.
