Kraiburg Coat of Arms

Shield Azure a coronet Or.
Meaning:
The coronet is based on a misinterpretation of the town's name in the 16th century as Kronburg, i.e. the crown's castle or crowned castle. The coronet first appeared on a local seal from 1557 and is part of the common rolls of arms since 1562. The oldest local seal however, probably made in 1493 and known by a print from 1514, displayed a gonfanon with three tips. This symbol reminds on the short rule of Count Hartmann of Werdenberg-Sargans between 1256 and 1259. The gonfanon of Tübingen had been the heraldic symbol of the counts, who were also called "counts of the banner". Before the town had been a possession of the Counts of Ortenburg-Kraiburg. In 1529 Duke Heinrich of Niederbayern acquired the town. The Wittelsbach kin had already granted the rights of a market town in 1385. In the 16th century the meaning of the gonfanon was no longer known, it had been interpreted as a comb and later as a coronet.

The arms are in use since about1557/1562. The arms were confirmed and the banner approved on 3 October 1972 by district governor (Regierungspräsident) of Oberbayern.
