coat of arms

Description of coat of arms

Divided by green and blue by a raised silver wavy bar; below a golden post horn with red lacing.

Coat of arms history

The wave bar, a heraldic river symbol, indicates the location of the community in the Valley of the Paar. The color green in the main shield emphasizes the agricultural character of the municipality, in which the asparagus and hops are cultivated. A bundle of asparagus symbolized this special culture in the coat of arms of the former municipality of Wangen. Their coat of arms became obsolete in 1971 when it was incorporated into Waidhofen. The golden post horn reminds us that a post office had existed in Waidhofen since around 1530 , which was moved to Schrobenhausen in 1802.

Attractions

maypole

The parish church " Mariäreinigung " and St. Wendelin is a baroque hall building from 1718; the tower is still Gothic. The stucco work created in 1719 is remarkable. The frescoes dedicated to Mary were created by the Innsbruck-born painter Melchior Steidl († August 4, 1727 in Munich). Scenes from the life of St. Wendelin can be found in the ceiling paintings. Waidhofen has "one of the finest stucco pulpits in Old Bavaria". Some late Gothic portraits have also been preserved, in particular the figure of the “wonderful cattle patron and helper in need” St. Wendelin (lively pilgrimage in the 18th century). The parish church can be clearly seen from the village island, which is accessible via a bridge.
