history
The settlement of the place goes back to the most recent Stone Age. On the ridge of the Högl , on the left bank of the Saalach , there are finds such as bronze swords, axes and urns, but also remains of Roman buildings.
The early Bavarian place names around Anger ending in the syllables “-ing” and “-ham” indicate that the Högl was settled by the Bavarians in the early Middle Ages. For a settlement continuity speak u. a. also the Bavarian row graves from the 6th to 8th centuries in Aufham.
From the early 12th century to 1817 the Augustinian Canons ' Monastery of Höglwörth , which Aufham also provided pastoral care , formed the economic, cultural and spiritual religious center of the area .
Until 1973 the place was assigned as an independent municipality to the Bad Reichenhall District Court , before that until 1879 to the Reichenhall District Court .
Up until May 1, 1978, Aufham was an independent municipality, which was then incorporated into Anger .
coat of arms
|
|
Blazon : “ In gold (yellow) two crossed red keys, above a red-tongued black lion head, underneath a red pilgrim shell. " |
| Justification of the coat of arms: The coat of arms was awarded in 1967 by the Bavarian Ministry of the Interior. The field color gold and the black lion head are reminiscent of the over a thousand-year rule of the Archbishopric of Salzburg . The crossed keys, attributes of St. Peter , remind us that Aufham was donated to the St. Peter monastery in Salzburg as early as 1000 and later as a donation to the Augustinian monastery Höglwörth , which also had the crossed keys in the coat of arms as a reference to the patron saint . As an attribute of St. Jacob, the pilgrim shell refers to the local church patronage. |
