Rottal-Inn is a Landkreis (district) in the southeastern part of Bavaria, Germany. Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise) Altötting, Mühldorf, Landshut, Dingolfing-Landau and Passau. To the southeast is the Austrian state of Upper Austria (Braunau).
Geography[edit]
The main rivers in the district are the Inn and its tributary, the Rott.
History[edit]
The district was created in 1972 by merging the two previous districts of Pfarrkirchen and Eggenfelden and parts of the districts Griesbach and Vilsbiburg.
Coat of arms[edit]
The coat of arms combines the symbols of the two previous districts. Dexter in chief is a panther as the symbol of Eggenfelden, derived from the coat of arms of the Counts of Spanheim, who ruled the area until the 13th century. Sinister in base a horse as the symbol of Pfarrkirchen, as the area is famous for the horse-breeding tradition. The bendlet sinister Azure between them symbolizes the two rivers in the district, the Inn and the Rott.
