history

Until the church is planted, market

Grassau, which has existed since at least 1259, belonged to the Burghausen Rent Office and the Marquartstein Regional Court of the Duchy and Electorate of Bavaria . The current district of Mietenkam was mentioned in a document as early as 1114 as Muytenheim . In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria , today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 . The market survey took place in 1965 .

etymology

Between 1125 and 1147 the place appeared as Grâzowo , 1144 as Grazzowe , approx. 1180 as Grazowe , between 1180 and 1195 as Crass ^v owe , between 1219 and 1234 as Grazz ^v owe , approx. 1259 as Grazav̂ , shortly before 1300 as Grazzawe , 1495 as Grassaw , 1514 as Grasaw , 1589 as Grassa and finally in 1831 as Grassau . The place name is formed from the basic word -au and the Middle High German qualifier of the original field name graz ("young branches of coniferous wood").

Outsourcing

On April 1, 1938, parts of the area were ceded to the new municipality of Marquartstein .

Coat of arms and flag

The market town of Grassau was granted the right to use its own municipal coat of arms on November 12, 1951 by the Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior . On June 24, 1954, the use of the flag in the colors blue-silver-green was approved.

Blazon

	Blazon : "A fire-breathing blue panther head in silver, hovering over a green meadow from which two green blades of grass grow up."

Coat of arms history

The Au stands for the meadow landscape overgrown with grass and the ending of the place name . The fire-breathing panther head is the diminished form of the Kraiburger panther. The Counts of Kraiburg- Ortenburg were lords in the Achental and thus in Grassau from around 1140 to 1248. The colors silver and blue represent the affiliation to the ducal- Wittelsbach court of Marquartstein.
