Meaning:
On 29 October 1903 Prince Regent Luitpold of Bayern granted the first arms. They displayed St. Catherine, standing on a base Vert with her attributes sword and broken bladed wheel, holding an inescutcheon, displaying on a triplemount Vert a falcon Or. The arms were changed in 1968. The saint was replaced by her most known attribute. The croziers were added, alluding to the Herrenchiemsee Convent. The falcon is alluding to the Counts of Falkenstein, who founded the town and had been reeves in the 12th century.
