From Ralf Hartemink's International Civic Arms website:

The arms were granted on May 22, 1962. The arms are a combination of the arms of the Lords of Schwabegg-Ursberg (eagle) and the Lords of Freyberg. The first family founded two monasteries in the county, which played a major role in its history. The Lords of Freyberg owned for a long time the Estate Niederraunau in the county.

Literature: Stadler 1964-1972.
