Eitting
	Per bend Sinister wavy Gules, a crozier issuant Or, and Or, a boar’s head Sable.

Foundation of the arms:

The canal of the Middle Isar, of which the energy is exploited in the Eitting Power Station, flows through the municipal area. This remarkable sign of the municipality is represented in the arms by the heraldic symbol for a watercourse, the socalled wavy partition. The local history is determined by the Hofmark (lower jurisdiction district) Eitting of the convent Freising and by the influence of the noble family von Ebersbeck in the village Reisen. To these recall the crozier as a reference to Freising as well as the Freising colours (Sable, Or and Gules) and the heraldic figure of the Ebersbeck, the boar’s head.

The Bavarian Ministry of the Interior approved the adoption of the arms on March 13th 1967.

Design of the arms:

Heinz Bessling, Gauting.
