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.
