HOHENZELL
State : Oberösterreich
District : Ried im Innkreis
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on June 11, 1979.
The roses are derived from the arms of the Oberheim family, who owned many possessions in the area. The sword is a symbol for the fact that the town was at a strategic position between Austria and Bavaria, which meant that there have been several battles for the town.
Literature : Baumert, H.E. : Oberösterreichische Gemeindewappen, Linz, 1996.
