Wappen von Gams bei Hieflau/Arms (crest) of Gams bei Hieflau

Official blazon

In blauem Schild silbern unter einem an die Schildränder stoßenden Bogen von Gipskristallen in Form von Schwalbenschwanzzwillingen wachsend drei Spitzen, auf deren mittleren, erniedrigten, dreispitzigen ein Gams steht.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on November 11, 1991.

The arms are canting, showing a chamois (Gemse, "Gams" in the dialect) standing on mountains. Gams lies in Upper Styria, where there are a lot of mountains - and of chamois.

Gams, however, can have another meaning, a special stone (see for example Bad Gams). This is symbolized by a bordure composed of crystals of gypsum or plaster stones.
