Coat of Arms of The Former "Vorstadt Au"
After the munincipality had been made part of the city in 1808 it was given its own coat of arms on the 25th July 1808 by the Royal Bavarian Landes-Commissariat. It is likely that coat of arms also applied to Haidhausen.
Description: Three silver lilies with green styling and 6 leaves on a blue background.
Meaning: In reference to the Lilienberg Monastery in Au.
After the incorporation into the city of Munich in 1854, all rights to the coat of arms belonged to the Munich city council.

your bright stones on my hand,
