history

The coat of arms was designed by the Munich heraldist Emil Werz .

All sorts of erroneous views about the belonging together of several old noble families of old Bavaria with the name Taufkirchen initially forced extensive genealogical research. In 1824 even the Kgl. Reichsheroldamt on the occasion of the awarding of the coat of arms to the Moreau zu Taufkirchen (Vils) family, who were then raised to the baron status, they falsely awarded the lion coat of arms of the Taufkirchen natives of Taufkirchen near Munich and Höhenrain , who died out in the 17th century . Completely different from this, however, is the local nobility of the same name, wealthy on the Vils, of the 12th and early 13th centuries, of which no coat of arms is known. However, the documents fail to prove that these Taufkirchers continued in the still flourishing family of the Counts of Taufkirchen zu Guttenburg and Ibm. Of course, it is noticeable that their ancestral coat of arms (in red, a silver pole) has been completely identical to the coat of arms of the families of the Fraunberger zu Altfraunberg and the Fraunhofer zu Altfraunhofen, who have always been wealthy in the Erdingen area . Perhaps the family named after Taufkirchen (Vils) split into two lines around 1200, one of which belonged to the Wittelsbacher , the other to the Salzburg (later Kraiburg) ministry. When designing the municipal coat of arms, the problem was solved by adopting the family coat of arms of the still flourishing barons of Fraunberg, who owned the Einödhof Stadl, which is part of today's municipality, and since at least 1337 also the town of Taufkirchen itself. Due to the mentioned coats of arms with the Taufkirchen zu Guttenburg, the shield head in the municipal landmark may also refer to the presumed connection between this family and the old local nobility of Taufkirchen (Vils). The most important shield image, however, is the former baptistery in Taufkirchen, broken off in 1890 and known in its ancient forms only through older images, which probably gave the settlement its name as early as the 9th century. It makes the municipal coat of arms a talking one.

The Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior approved the use of the coat of arms by the municipality by resolution of March 8, 1954.
