coat of arms

	Blazon : "In blue a silver retort on a golden tripod, above it a golden scythe leaf floating horizontally."

The existing economic conditions in the municipality are embodied in the coat of arms. The coat of arms has not been used in the same or a similar form by any other municipality in Bavaria. The scythe leaf indicates the formerly exclusively agricultural character of the community. Even today there are around 150 rural farms that characterize the landscape in stately four-sided courtyards , in wastelands or hamlets . The retort stands for the important chemical industry that has flourished in the community area since 1940 ( Gendorf plant ), which ensures the economic existence of a large part of the population and numerous commuters.

• Wingen-sur-Moder ( Alsace , France ), contacts since 1972, partnership agreement since June 25, 1977

• Sânnicolau Mare (German Grand Saint Nicholas ; Hungarian Nagyszentmiklós ) ( Banat , Romania ), contacts since 1989, friendship agreement since March 28, 2004

The formal friendship agreements are equivalent to the partnership agreement with Wingen-sur-Moder.

Infrastructure

media

Radio ISW emerged from a public company in which anyone could participate. This ultimately also led to the large pluralistic group of around 30 different shareholders who merged to form Inn-Salzach-Welle GmbH . The Alt-Neuötting and Burghausen adult education centers are part of it, as well as the Rottal-Inn-Salzach district education center and the Upper Bavaria district association of the workers' welfare organization.

It started broadcasting on June 6, 1988 from Burgkirchen an der Alz, at the same time as Radio Mühldorf. Radio ISW's concept, which is geared towards being as close to the citizens as possible, quickly caught on: Radio ISW took over the broadcasting area from Radio Mühldorf as early as 1991. In 1993 Radio ISW opened a regional studio in Waldkraiburg in the house of the clubs . Another milestone in 1998: the move to Burgkirchen-Gendorf into their own broadcasting house. Radio ISW is a production of the radio Burgkirchen-Mühldorf GmbH . Hans Hausner has been the managing director since it started broadcasting.

The Inn-Salzach-wave GmbH since 1 October 1986 produced local television programs and is one of the pioneers of the private television . In the beginning there were monthly broadcasts, known as the district camera and limited to the region of the Altötting district . It was later broadcast centrally on cable television via its own studio in Schnaitsee for the southeast Bavarian districts of Altötting, Mühldorf , Traunstein and Rosenheim . Today ISW-TV can be received across the board via cable , Astra satellite and various other options via RFO .
