coat of arms

Blazon : Split and divided by a silver wavy bar. Above right in blue on a green hill a silver, black open and red roofed church with a high central nave, two side aisles and a tower built in front on the left with five heels and a high double onion helmet; Upper left split three times by silver and red. Below right in gold three green, adjacent, rootless, conifers that are getting smaller towards the outside; lower left in blue two golden, diagonally crossed keys with beards turned outwards and upwards, the letter P in the handle of the upper one on the left, the Roman numeral II in the handle of the other.

The church on the hill was adopted as the landmark of the market because of its basilica design, which is unique in the entire Innviertel. The Upper Austrian state colors indicate that Aspach was the first municipality to be elevated to a market municipality by the state law in 1928. The forest trees mark the location of the municipality in the Kobernaußerwald, the number of three symbolizes the tax municipality of Aspach, Wildenau and Obermigelsbach. The keys with the initials P and II refer to the former beneficiary, pastor of Aspach and later Pope Pius II, Aeneas Sylvius Piccolomini.

history

Red Chapel in Aspach

The former Burgstall Grindelsberg ramparts go back to prehistoric times .

Since the founding of the Duchy of Bavaria , the place was Bavarian until 1779 and came to Austria after the Treaty of Teschen with the Innviertel (then called Innbaiern). In the 18th century, the Counts of Wartenberg, who were descended from the Wittelsbach family , owned an extensive Hofmark in Aspach .

During the Napoleonic Wars briefly Bavarian again , since 1816 it has finally belonged to Austria on the Enns and from 1918 to Upper Austria. Aspach was the first municipality to be raised to a market municipality by state law in 1928. After Austria was annexed to the German Reich on March 13, 1938, the place belonged to the "Gau Oberdonau". After 1945 the restoration of Upper Austria took place.

On July 4, 1929, a fateful storm raged over Aspach in the evening hours, which caused the church tower to fall on the sacristan's house. The building was partly completely destroyed, nobody was injured.
