Aiterhofen Coat of Arms

Shield Gules abased parted by a fess wavy Argent, above between two grain ears Or three heraldic roses of the same seeded Gules and ordered 2:1.
Meaning:
The fess wavy is representing the rivers Donau (Danube) and Aitrach. The grain ears are alluding to the rural character and the roses are a differentiation of the arms of the Imperial Barons of Törring-Seefeld, who ruled the local district (Bavarian: Hofmark) since 1669. The red tincture is referring to the Imperial St. Emmeram Abbey, an important manorial lord in the Medieval.
