coat of arms

Official description of the municipal coat of arms awarded in 1995: Above a hill of green and gold split by green and gold, square with a linden leaf cross in alternating colors. The municipality colors are yellow-red.

The two dominant basic colors of the coat of arms green and gold indicate the agricultural character of the municipality. The cross symbolizes on the one hand the joined church place name and on the other hand emphasizes Neukirchen as an incorporated parish of the Lambach monastery. The linden leaves at the ends of the cross are said to remind "speaking" of the most famous son of the place, one of the first dialect poets in Upper Austria, Maurus Lindemayr , who went far beyond local importance . The hill points to the 504 m high Krailberg, located on the northern border of the municipality, as the highest point in the Wels-Land district .

history

The name Neukirchen is mentioned for the first time in the documents of Lambach Abbey in 1070.
