SCHACHEN BEI VORAU
State : Steiermark
District : Hartberg-Fürstenfeld (until 2015 Hartberg)
Incorporated into : 2015 Vorau
Official blazon
Im roten mit silbernen Tannenzweigen seitlich und unten belegten Schild silbern ein in das Schildhaupt wachsender, von zwei auswärts gebogenen, beblätterten Ähren besaiteter Krummstab.
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.
