Coat of arms
| The coat of arms combines the symbols of the two previous districts. In the upper-left is a panther as the symbol of Eggenfelden, derived from the coat of arms of the Counts of Spanheim, who ruled the area until the 13th century. In the bottom-right a horse as the symbol of Pfarrkirchen, as the area is famous for the horse-breeding tradition. The blue wavy line between them symbolizes the two rivers in the district, the Inn and the Rott. |
