Pförring Coat of Arms

Shield Azure, two round towers Argent with roofs Gules on a base Vert, between the towers an inecutcheon lozengy of Argent and Azure, topped by a roof Gules.
Meaning:
Pförring gained the rights of a market town in 1318, granted by King Ludwig the Bavarian. In 1361 Duke Stephan II of Bayern granted the right to built a bridge, in order to charge customs duty. The town was fortified due to an order of the Bavarian Dukes Ernst and Wilhelm. The arms are based on a print of the first town seal from 1374. The building is a representation of the local fortification at the bridge crossing the Donau River (English: Danube). The inescutcheon is symbolising the rule of the Dukes of Bayern. The pattern remained basically the same. In the 19th century the inescutcheon was displayed as impending.

The banner has never been approved officially. The arms are traditional.
