Shield Azure a fleur-de-lis Argent issuant from a stepped Gable of the same, in chief an impending saltire Or.
Meaning:
Gable and lily are taken from the arms of the Lords of Hohenstein, whose ancestral seat had been in the village. Members of the kin had been commssionaires of Counts of Ortenburg, who died out in 1248. Then the village was acquired by the Wittelsbach kin. The main tinctures are alluding to Bayern and the kin. The saltire is an attribute of St. Andrew, local patron saint of Egerndach.
