Main Street

Here you see everyday life around 1900 on the main street, nowadays known as Lenbachstraße. Up to the middle of this century huge cattle markets were held there.

Coat of Arms

The town’s coat of arms displays a bear head. The white and blue rhombuses on the coat of arms date back to the former association to the “Wittelsbacher”, who had been reigning Bavaria as dukes and kings up to 1918.
