Shield Azure, a blackthorn blossom Argent with three thorns, shield mantled Argent, at dexter charged with an axe issuant Azure, at sinister parted by a cross Gules.
Meaning:
The blackthorn (German: Schlehe) blossom is a canting element. Mantle, axe and cross are taken from the arms of the Schlehdorf Abbey. It was founded as a Benedictine monastery in 740 and again founded in the 12th century by Bishop Otto of Freising and existed as an Augustine abbey until 1803.
