Red-yellow-blue, adopted 19.10.1973. The seat of the county which borders Austria is Pfarrkirchen. I sent a horizontal version some months ago, but the vertical use is more common and hence 'more probable'. Sources: Linder and Schmidt 2000.

Stefan Schwoon, 28 September 2001

Adopted 19.10.1973, according to Dirk Schönberger's Administrative Divisions of the World website. From Ralf Hartemink's International Civic Arms website:

The arms were granted on October 19, 1973. The arms combine the horse from the arms of Pfarrkirchen with the panther from the arms of Eggenfelden. The wavy bend symbolises the Rott and Inn rivers.

Literature: Linder and Olzog 1996.
