SCHACHEN BEI VORAU
State : Steiermark
District : Hartberg
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on October 16, 1989.
Schachen was a possession of the Archbishop of Salzburg and of the Monastery of the Regular Canons of Vorau. This is symbolised by the two crosiers in the arms. The name of the municipality, Schachen, is an old word, meaning open forest or woodside, so sprigs of fir were included into the arms along with the wheat-ears, which are well-known symbols of agriculture.
