Steingaden Coat of Arms

Renaissance shield parted per pale, at dexter Gules a sinister facing griffin-lion Argent, at sinister Argent a tower Gules based on two ashlars of the same.
Meaning:
The municipality was established on 1 April 1939 by a merger of Urspring, Fronreiten and Lauterbach. Name giver was the Premonstratensian Steingaden Monastery, which had been founded by the Welfen kin. The griffin-lion, a lion with the head of a griffin, is the oldest apocryphal heraldic animal of the kin. Its members had been Dukes of Bayern. The griffin-lion is also part of the arms of the monastery since 1441. The tower on ashlars (local German: Gaden aus Stein) is a canting element and name giver of monastery and municipality. The tower is also part of the arms of the monastery since the 16th century. Its origin might have been a Roman watchtower.
