at the top two red heraldic roses with golden bosses

and silver sepals, below raised a silver wavy bar

a silver wavy bar, in the base of the shield a silver potato blossom."

At the same time, the municipal colors "green-yellow" were approved.

The meaning of the symbols of the coat of arms:

The 2 roses stand for the two Marian churches in Unserfrau and in Heinrichs.

The potato blossom is a reminder of the first potato cultivation in Austria under Empress Maria Theresa in Pyhrabruck.

The silver wavy bar in the middle symbolizes the Lainsitz, the yellow color the fruit of the fields (grain) and green indicates the forest.
