history
The coat of arms of the new district created as part of the municipal reorganization of Bavaria on July 1, 1972, unites the heraldic figures of the submerged districts of Aichach and Friedberg .
The oak leaf - speaking figure from the coat of arms of the city of Aichach , in which the district seat is located - stands for the former district of Aichach.
The Ulrichskreuz is taken from the coat of arms of the Friedberg district. It is an iconographic attribute of the holy bishop Ulrich , the patron saint of the diocese of Augsburg , and refers to the centuries-old affiliation of the area to the diocese.
The Bavarian diamonds in the shield head come from the Wittelsbach family coat of arms . They were in the coats of arms of both Altland districts. Large parts of the district area belonged to the Bavarian duchy . The ancestral seat of the family was located in Wittelsbach Castle northeast of Aichach .
The approval of the use of the coat of arms was given by letter from the government of Swabia on December 10, 1975.
flag
