State : Steiermark
District : Deutschlandsberg
Additions : 2015 Georgsberg, Marhof, Rassach, Stainztal, Stallhof
Origin/meaning
There is no formal grant on record, the arms are traditional.
The borough was under the lordship of the Canons Regular of Stainz monastery (dissolved at the end of the 18th century). The monastery was granted by members of the famous von Wildon family in the High Middle Ages; their arms were three "Seeblätter", leaves of water lily. Such a leaf can be seen on the dexter side of the arms.
The other charge in the arms is a St Catherine's wheel, as St Catherine is the patron saint of Stainz.
 The arms in the Coffee Hag album +/- 1932 |
