Gschaid is an old word meaning a pass through a mountain divide (scheiden means "to divide"). There are several such "Gschaids" in Styria. In historical times, important streets crossed the Gschaid, linking the mining region, Eastern Styria and (ultimately) Hungary. The streets were put into the arms along with a wolf, taken from a medieval squire's coat of arms.
