coat of arms

Description of coat of arms :

  • “Divided by a narrow blue bar , which is covered with three lying silver diamonds , made of silver and gold; above a growing red griffin lion with a vertical raftsman in its paws; below on the green ground a green laurel tree , on each side a five-pointed blue star . "

The coat of arms was awarded to the place in 1967. The griffin lion refers to the close relationship with the Steingaden monastery , which was wealthy in the municipality until secularization in 1803. The rafters rod points to the past on the Lech intensively operated rafting down. The diamond-studded bar and the lower half of the shield with the laurel tree and stars are taken from the coat of arms of Johann Georg von Lori , the co-founder of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences , who was born in 1723 in today's Premer district of Gründl. The stars also refer to the old Marian patronage in the Parish Church of St. Michael in Prem.
