coat of arms
In the award of the coat of arms by the State Ministry of the Interior in 1965, the blazon reads: “Divided by green and silver; above a chamois head, below two lake leaves with intertwined stems in mixed up colors. ”The Gamskopf symbolizes the alpine location of the community, which extends from the rear Tegernsee valley to the Achenpass and the Tyrolean border, where high mountain game occurs. The Gamskopf was used as a place symbol of Kreuth even before the coat of arms was adopted. The two intertwined sea leaves (water lily leaves) are the oldest heraldic symbols of the Benedictine Abbey of Tegernsee and remind us that Kreuth goes back to a high medieval clearing of the Tegernsee monastery and was connected to it by the lower court and manorial until the secularization of 1803.
