coat of arms

Geisenfeld coat of arms
 Blazon : "A silver zigzag bar in the red triangular shield."

The origin of the coat of arms has not yet been clearly established. It is believed that it is derived from the coat of arms of the Geisenfeld monastery. The oldest colored reproductions of the coat of arms date from 1565, 1568 and 1590. They show the silver zigzag bar in the red field. In 1818 the colors were reversed due to a mistake by the then magistrate under Mayor Anton Stephan. Since then, the official mayor's seal has had the red zigzag bar. However, the silver zigzag bar on a red field is preferred for colored reproductions of the coat of arms.
