Au is a district in the south eastern plain tract of the German city of Munich in Bavaria. Au extends from the Deutsches Museum in the north and along the Isar up to Wittelsbacherbrücke in the south.
Coat of arms of the former "Vorstadt Au"
After the municipality had been made a town in 1808 it was given its own coat of arms on 25 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. == Literature ==
