coat of arms

The authority to use a coat of arms was granted to the community on August 8, 1966 on the occasion of its 800th anniversary of the first documentary mention. The coat of arms shows a golden angel wing on a blue background and goes back to the coat of arms of the Counts of Ortenburg , which showed three angel wings.

There is a legend about the creation of the coat of arms. According to this, a young count had to go on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land and bring a consecrated souvenir with him as a token of love in order to marry a countess. He also brought a chip from the cross of Christ with him, but it got lost in a storm while crossing the sea. He returned to the Countess sadly and wanted to confess his failure to her when she showed him the chip. This was brought by a messenger - who was seen as an angel. The two then married and founded the town of Spanheim. The Ortenburgers emerged from the Spanheimers.
