coat of arms

Official description of the municipal coat of arms: Divided by silver and gold by a blue wavy bar; above two black, diagonally crossed keys with turned away beards, below a black bull's head in sight. The community colors are green-yellow-blue.

The keys in the parish coat of arms, awarded in 1981, are an attribute of St. Petrus for the parish patron and namesake of the place, the wavy strip stands for the location on the Inn and was based on the serrated cut of the Pogenhofen residents. The bull's head is taken from the coat of arms of the Barons von Handel, the owners of Hagenau Castle and at times also of Bogenhofen Castle .

history

From the founding of the Duchy of Bavaria, St. Peter am Hart was Bavarian until 1779 and came to Austria after the Treaty of Teschen and the Innviertel (then 'Innbaiern').

From the village of Aham in the parish of St. Peter am Hart came the noble family of Ahamer or Ahaimer , who later rose to the rank of count .

During the Napoleonic Wars briefly Bavarian again, St. Peter am Hart has been part of Upper Austria since 1814. After the connection of Austria to the German Reich on 13 March 1938, the place to "Upper Danube" belonged. After 1945 the restoration of Upper Austria took place.

Population development

In 1991 the municipality had 2,069 inhabitants according to the census, in 2001 it had 2,394 inhabitants. The sharp increase occurred because both the birth balance (+68) and the migration balance (+257) were positive. From 2001 to 2011 there was a slight emigration, but this was offset by the birth balance, so that the population rose to 2,421 people.
