Wasserburg Coat of Arms

Shield parted per fess; above Argent a demi-bear rampant issuant Sable, armed and tongued Gules; beneath Azure on base wavy of the same an embattled fortress Argent.
Meaning:
The lower half is canting, displaying a fortress (German: Burg) over waves of water (German: Wasser). The settlement around the fortress was first mentioned in 784 as a possession of the Benedictine St. Gallen Monastery. During the raids of the Hungarians in the 10th century the fortress had been a shelter for its monks and its treasuries. The Lordship of Wasserburg remained a possession of the abbey until the end of the Medieval. The abbey kept tithe and patronage until its dissolution in 1805. The demi-bear is a differention of the arms of the abbey. The tinctures silver and blue are those of Bayern, to which the village belonged since 1803.

The banner has never been approved officially. The arms were approved on 3 February 1954 by county governor (Kreispräsident) of Lindau.
