The upper part is derived from the coat of arms of Bayern, which in turn are the arms of the Wittelsbach family. The family castle is situated in the county. The oak leaf is canting [German Eiche meaning oak] and also derived from the arms of Aichach city.

Shield lozengy of Argent and blue, parted by a corised cross patty Or, chrged with an eagle Sable armed and tongued Gules.
Meaning:
The background of the arms is the coat of arms of Bayern, as the main part of the county was part of Bayern. Until 1268 part of the area was part of a imperial estate in Lechrain. In the estate armies on their way to Italy assembled. The imperial eagle is symbolising this imperial estate. The cross is a reminder of the large possessions of the Bishopric of Augsburg in the area.
