coat of arms
Official description of the municipal coat of arms : In red, a golden crown with a forehead band roughened horizontally in silver and blue. The community colors are red and yellow. The municipal coat of arms was awarded by resolution of the Upper Austrian provincial government on June 18, 1973.
The crown refers to the former importance of Feldkirche as the center of a royal estate that existed as early as the Carolingian era; the diamonds in the crown's headband are reminiscent of the Innviertel's former affiliation to Bavaria. The coat of arms was designed by Martin Stachl from Braunau am Inn.
