Elaborated shield with top fimbriated Or, Argent a demi-eagle Gules aremd and tongued Or in chief, two sticks Gules in saltire in centre, beneath two water-lily leaves Vert intertwined by their stems, base wavy Azure.
Meaning:
The eagle and sticks are taken from the arms of the Lords of Waldeck from Hohenwaldeck, who built their estate around the Schliersee lake. They died out in 1483 and were succeeded by the Lords (later Counts) of Maxlrain. The lower part shows the water-lily leaves and waves taken from the arms of the Tegernsee Abbey, which owned most of the Western part of the county until 1803.

The white banner has not been approved and was used unofficially from 1998 until 2011. The tricolour was adopted by the local council on 23 October 2011. The arms were approved on 15 September 1955 by Minister of Interior of Bayern and confirmed on 7 June 1977 by district governor (Regierungspräsident) of Oberbayern.
