Austria became an independent republic after the First World War, on October 16, 1918. Until 1918 it had formed part of the [[Austro-Hungarian Empire]]. One of the priorities of the new country was to design National symbols. The official National colours, red-white-red, were officially adopted on October 31, 1918. | Austria became an independent republic after the First World War, on October 16, 1918.

When Austria regained independence in 1945 the arms from 1919 were restored on May 1st, 1945. The only addition were the chains, symbol of the liberation of the Nazi-regime. Ever since the arms have remained unchanged. On different occasions, however, proposals were made to change the arms and to remove the hammer, chain and sickle, but these were never carried out. | When Austria regained independence in 1945 the arms from 1919 were restored on May 1st, 1945.
