Deutsch: Der grüne Erlenzweig im Schildhaupt ergibt ein für den früheren Gemeindenamen Erling redendes Bild (ab 1956 Erling-Andechs, seit 1978 Andechs.) Der herschauende goldene Löwe ist die Minderung des Wappens der Grafen von Andechs (ein Löwe über einem Adler), die in der Geschichte des bayerischen Oberlandes bis Mitte des 13. Jahrhunderts eine bedeutende Rolle spielten. Nach dem Aussterben der Andechser 1248 kam die Grafschaft Andechs in den Besitz der Wittelsbacher. Herzog Albrecht III. ließ am Standort der Burg 1455 die Benediktinerabtei zum Heiligen Berg Andechs errichten. Der Andechser Löwe fand auch Eingang in das Klosterwappen. Das berühmte Kloster ist der weithin sichtbare Mittelpunkt der Gemeinde und gab ihr schließlich auch den Namen. An die enge Verbindung zum Haus Wittelsbach erinnern die Feldfarben des Wappens Silber und Blau.
English: The branch of an alder (German: Erle) is canting, as the name of the municipality had been Erling until 1956 and Erling-Andechs until 1978. The lion reguardant is a differentiation of the arms of the Counts of Andechs-Meranien. Their family arms displayed a lion above and an eagle beneath. The kin played an important role in the Bavarian uplands until the 13th century. Their possessions were acquired by the Wittelbach kin in 1248, after the counts had died out. Duke Albrecht III of Bayern changed the ancestral seat of the counts to the Benedictine Abbey of the Holy Mountain of Andechs. The lion became part of the arms of the abbey. The abbey gained the privileges of a district (Bavarian: Hofmark) and ruled the villages Erling, Ramsee and Widdersberg until 1803, when it was secularised. The abbey nowadays is name giver and landmark of the village and a famous brewery. The tinctures argent and blue are referring to the close relationships between the abbey and the Wittelsbach kin. |
