Shield parted per pale, at dexter Azure a demi falcon Or couped per pale on top of a mount issuant Argent, at sinister Gules an acid tower Argent.
Meaning:
The dexter half is a differentiation of the family arms of the Counts of Falkenstein, who died out in 1272. The counts had been reeves of Kirchdorf upon Inn, the old name of the municipality until 1953, with the Lords of Raubling as their commissioners. The tower, used in paper mills, is referring to the production of paper in the village of Rheinfelden. It was added as a distinguishing mark.
