The rose connects Berglern and Moosburg

The coat of arms of the municipality of Berglern is strongly stylized, shows a green, so-called three mountain in the lower area.

The coat of arms of the municipality of Berglern is strongly stylized, shows a green, so-called three mountain in the lower area.

One of these can be found in the coats of arms of Hungary, Slovakia and Slovenia, sometimes with different colors and shapes, and is a popular symbol in heraldry, i.e. heraldry.

Berglern - While the three national coats of arms mentioned refer to specific mountains, in Berglern this is already topographically impossible due to the lack of mountains.

The House of Bavarian History helps itself in the description of the coat of arms (blazon) by making the Dreiberg a reference to the community name, Berglern.

The district of Erding made a very similar statement in an official publication about the coat of arms in the district.

The sources do not provide any more.

Even the lexicon of Bavarian place names does not help much here, except that the Old High German word "hler" is included, which means "pasture places".

And the later added “Perch”, later “Berg” in the name, denotes a slightly higher pasture.

At least that would explain the color scheme.

The encyclopedia mentioned, however, names the four neighboring districts, which makes a three-mountain seem illogical again.

The heraldic - that is, stylized like a coat of arms - rose in the upper part, on the other hand, looks much more familiar and actually comes from the Counts of Moosburg.

The lexicon marks Berglern as a parish village, which makes sense: The family died out in 1281, but until then exercised the manorial rule, the tithe, and the church bailiwick.

Church bailiwick meant nothing else than the secular protector of the church, i.e. advocatus ecclesiae.

In the event of a legal dispute, under certain circumstances the bailiff had to represent his subordinate before the ordinary court, as noted by the Zeitschrift für historical jurisprudence.

The church bailiff thus had the right to investigate the plaintiff's claim.

The coat of arms of the Counts of Moosburg passed seamlessly to the city of Moosburg after 1281.

The rose therefore creates a direct reference to the history of the community.

The coat of arms was approved on September 4, 1962, so that, similar to Langenpreising, there is a small anniversary in the coming year.

Ernst Rößner from Bad Tölz, who also worked for the communities of Finsing and Oberneuching, designed the coat of arms for the community.

And he had to be careful that the coat of arms remained distinguishable from that of the city of Moosburg.

According to a publication by the district of Erding, the heraldist succeeded in doing this by integrating only one rose into the Berglern coat of arms.

Moosburg is not called Dreirosenstadt for nothing.
