coat of arms

Description of coat of arms

Two black moss cobs with green stems and green leaves growing in silver from a blue corrugated shield base; a red cross stick and a red key crossed diagonally in between.

Coat of arms history

The Wellenschildfuß and growing from moss piston ( cattail ) refer to the location of the municipality in the headwaters of Maisach and typical in the wetlands flora. They also give a fitting picture for the community name alluding to moor meadows. The red cross staff, attribute of St. Sixtus , symbolizes the patron saint of the parish church Moorenweis and the historical importance of the parish church as a manor. The key is the reduction of the monastery coat of arms of Wessobrunn (two crossed keys) and reminds of the possessions of the monastery in Moorenweis, which can be documented as early as the 13th century, and the most important manorial rule in the village up to the secularization of 1803. The colors white and red refer to the parish belonging to the diocese of Augsburg .

traffic

The state road 2054 crosses Moorenweis. The place is part of the Munich Transport and Tariff Association . Moorenweis is connected to local public transport with four bus lines and a RufTaxi. The nearest train stations are in the neighboring communities of Grafrath and Türkenfeld. From there, the S-Bahn line S4 runs towards Munich or Geltendorf.

There are no bike path connections, neither in neighboring districts nor in neighboring communities. The construction of a cycle path that had been planned for decades along State Road 2054 towards Jesenwang was finally canceled in 2010 due to financial uncertainties, although the project was about to make a positive decision. A realization is therefore no longer expected in the foreseeable future. Linked to this is a planned road-side cycle path connection to Grafrath train station has moved further into the distance.
