Shield Azure two croziers Or in saltire, in chief a parson's cap Sable in an inescutcheon Argent, in base a sheatfish naiant embowed Argent.
Meaning:
Hat and croziers are taken from the ephemeral municipal arms of Oberpfaffenhofen, valid only between the 22 December 1975 and the 31 December 1975. Oberpfaffenhofen was incorporated into Weßling on 1 January 1976. Its arms displayed silver croziers on a red shield and the hat on a white triplemount issuant in base. The parson's cap (German: Pfaffenhut) was a canting element. The croziers are alluding to the Benedictine Benediktbeuern Monastery, which had been one of the most important local manorial lords until the 14th century between the Ammersee, a lake, and the Würm River. The sheatfish (Latin: Silurus glanis), is symbolising the location on the shores of the Weßliner See, another lake. The tinctures white and blue are those of the Wittelbach kin, the local rulers.
