' BONIFAZ SELLINGER 'Born: August 2, 1912
Deceased: March 10, 2002
Abbot of Schottenkloster in Wien, 1966-1988
| English | blazon wanted |
Origin/meaning
As nearly all abbots, he combined the arms of the Abbey with his personal arms. For his personal arms he took symbolism from the legend of St. Bonifatius and the oak of Wodan. Bonifacius cut the oak to show that the old gods were not as powerful as his Christian god. The arms thus show a Christian cross and an oak tree with an axe.
