    Frasdorf Coat of Arms

    Shield parted per fess, above paly of four of Azure and Argent, beneath Gules a sinister facing dragon passant Argent.
    Meaning:
    The upper half is taken from the arms of the Lords of Gundriching, who played an important role in Ginnerting until the 16th century. They died out in 1576. The dragon is an attribute of St. Margaret of Antioch, local patron saint of the church of Frasdorf, which existed since the 12th century.

    Umrathshausen Coat of Arms

    Shield parted per pale, at dexter Gules a chalice Or, at sinister Argent a lozenge Gules, issuant from base a triplemount Or.
    Meaning:
    The chalice is symbolising the local church of the Sacred Blood, first mentioned in 1368 and since 1500 an important place of pilgrimage. Originally the village was a dominion of the Archbishopric of Salzburg with the Lords of Umrathshausen as local rulers between 1150 and 1230. Since then the Lords of Hohenaschau gained control, represented in the arms by the triplemount. The lozenge is a differentiation of the family arms of the Giebing kin, who also played a major role in the local history and owned the nowadays Oswald Estate.
