Population development
history
The Romans settled the province of Noricum for around 500 years . The Innviertel and especially the area around Altheim with its flat primeval landscapes were already considered to be the granary of the Roman Empire in this province because of its pronounced agriculture . From here the food for the legions stationed along the Limes was produced.
In the year 903 the place is mentioned for the first time. For centuries Altheim, like the whole of the Innviertel, belonged to Bavaria . On July 6, 1581, Altheim was raised to market by Duke Wilhelm V of Bavaria .
During the War of the Spanish Succession (1701–1714) the area was briefly occupied by the Habsburgs, but during the peasant and popular uprising in 1705/1706 ( Sendlinger Murder Christmas ) it became Bavarian again. Only after the War of the Bavarian Succession did the area of today's Innviertel, then known as Innbaiern and thus Altheim, become part of Austria through the Treaty of Teschen in 1779 .
After the creation of the local communities in 1848/49 , the tax communities Stern and Weirading were merged to form the community of Sankt Laurenz (as of January 1, 1851). In 1938, when large parishes were formed all over Austria after the Anschluss , the parishes of Altheim and St. Laurenz merged into one parish (as of January 1, 1939). The community was elevated to a city in 2003.

coat of arms
Official description of the municipal coat of arms:
- Divided diagonally by blue and red by a golden wave bar , inside a black-gray eel ; above a silver antiqua uppercase letter A, elevated by a star of the same kind ; below two silver stakes .
The municipality colors are blue-yellow-red .
The coat of arms was awarded to Altheim in 1581 on the occasion of the market survey by Duke Wilhelm V of Bavaria . The lower field originally showed the sliver-blue Bavarian diamonds , which were replaced by the silver-red Upper Austrian posts after Austria had acquired the Innviertel . In 1784 the right to coat of arms and seals was confirmed by Emperor Joseph II .
The eel symbolizes the place name as a talking coat of arms in folk etymological interpretation, which, however, is derived from "old". The A marked with a star was already used in trade seals before the coat of arms was awarded. The silver-red poles indicate that it belongs to Upper Austria.
