Postmünster Coat of Arms

Shield Azure a crozier issuant Or in pale, in base superimposed by two barrulets wavy Argent and flanked by two grain ears Or.
Meaning:
The crozier is an attribute of St. Benedict, the local patron saint and to the suffix "Münster" (English: minster). A minster had been in the village since the early Medieval. The ears are symbolising agriculture, the barrulets wavy are symbolising the Rottauensee, a dammed lake finished in 1970.
