Meaning:
The market towns of Pfaffenberg and Mallersdorf merged on 1 July 1972. Mallersdorf did not only loose its indepence but also the seat of the namesake county. The arms are a combination of the former arms of both market towns with Pfaffenberg at dexter and Mallerdorf at sinister. The arms of the former were granted in 1558 by Duke Albrecht III of Bayern, those of the latter in 1886 by Prince Regent Luitpold of Bayern. The triplemount is a canting element representing Pfaffenberg. The plough bearn had been sometimes misinterpreted as a scythe. It is symbolising agriculture. The roses are taken from the arms of the Counts of Moosburg. The nimbed eagle of St. John the Evangelist was adopted by Mallersdorf town from the arms of the namesake Benedictine monastery. The evangelist had been its patron saint. The chief displays the arms of Bayern and was added in order to stress the importance of both former towns as seats of districts and courts of justice.
