Meaning:
The arms were granted by Berthold of Wehingen, Bishop of Freising (1382 - 1410). It is described as a coloured secret seal, the coronet had been red then. The head as a symbol of the bishopric was replaced in 1819 by an inescutcheon, parted per bend of white and blue. The old arms were restored in 1892 with a golden coronet.
