| symbolism = "Galero": an abbatial crozier veiled with a "sudarium" by a black galero, or wide-brimmed hat, signifies the rank of abbot.[8]

The blue and white field represents the flag of Bavaria, the country from which founder of the abbey, Abbot Boniface Wimmer, came, while the "V" represents Saint Vincent de Paul, the patron saint of the Archabbey.

The three yellow hearts imposed on a red field are representative of the archabbot's personal motto, "Heart speaks to heart."
