The coat of arms of the municipality of Bockhorn has been the official emblem of Bockhorn (Upper Bavaria) in the district of Erding since April 4, 1973, alongside the flag .
history
The coat of arms was designed by the Passau heraldist Max Reinhart after the merger of the communities of Bockhorn, Eschlbach, Grünbach and Salmannskirchen to form the new community of Bockhorn on January 1, 1972.
The silver horn was taken from the coat of arms of the former municipality of Grünbach, which had it until December 31, 1971. Grünbach had taken over the horn from the coat of arms of the noble family of the power of Grünbach, who once lived there. The former municipality of Bockhorn is represented in the new coat of arms by the wavy bar , which symbolizes the Strogn that flows through the municipality. Since the incorporated towns of Eschlbach and Salmannskirchen had no coats of arms, no elements of these coats of arms can be found in the Bockhorn municipal coat of arms today.
The government of Upper Bavaria approved the use of the coat of arms by the municipality with a resolution of April 4, 1973.
