Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on July 12th, 1993.
These arms are inspired by local history. In the Middle Ages, the lands around today's Gössendorf were the property of the Landesfürst, the Duke of Styria. In 1286, Volkmar von Graz, Judge at Graz, gave a homestead in the municipality to a hospital. For his seal, Volkmar used a unicorn rampant.
