Winklarn Coat of Arms

Shield parted per pale, at dexter Gules a fess dancetty Argent, at sinister a sinister facing fox issuant salient Gules holding an angular measure Sable by his forepaws, in base a trefoil Vert.
Meaning:
Measure and trefoil had been reported as elements of local seals since the 14th century. Fess dancetty and fox were added by the local ruler Andreas of Murach, known by a seal print from 1577. The angular measure (German: Winkelmaß) is canting, the trefoil is a frequently used local symbol.

The banner is in use without approval. The arms were granted in 1577 by Andreas of Murach.
