Deutsch: Beim Wappen bestehen Zusammenhänge zwischen dem Wappen der Grafen von Hirschberg, die als Wappen einen roten Hirsch auf silbernen Grund führten, und dem der Stadt Hirschau, welches einen springenden silbernen Hirsch auf rotem Schild zeigt. Auf seiner Brust trägt der Hirsch ein von Silber und Blau gerautetes Schildchen, das auf die nach 1373 wiederhergestellte wittelsbachische Landesherrschaft Bezug nimmt. Urkundlich belegt ist das Hirschauer Wappen seit 1467. Um zusätzlich den Begriff "Au" zu symbolisieren, wurden im 18. und frühen 19. Jahrhundert in das Wappen sechs kleine Tannenbäumchen eingefügt, über die der Hirsch hinwegspringt.
English: The existence of proper seals is proven since 1476. As the pattern displayed the shield of the Bavarian dukes from the Wittelsbach kin since the very beginning, the seal must have been adopted after 1373. Before Hirschau belonged to the "new Bohemian territories" between 1353 and 1373, in 1367 it was first mentioned as a city. The stag (German: Hirsch) is a canting element. The Au, a kind of meadow, was symbolised in between by little trees and by a young forest plantation of firs, which were removed in the 20th century.
