State : Oberösterreich
District : Vöcklabruck
Official blazon
In Blau auf grünem, gewelltem Schildfuß mit zwei silbernen, rot bewehrten, schwimmenden Schwänen ein silberner, zweitürmiger, gezinnter Torbau, das durchbrochene Rundbogentor mit hochgezogenem, goldenem Fallgitter und aufgeschlagenen, goldenen Torflügeln, die Türme mit roten, einen goldenen Knauf tragenden Kegeldächern. Über dem Torbau ein rotes, von einer goldenen Davidskrone überhöhtes Schildchen mit einem goldenen Mühlenrad.
Origin/meaning
The arms are canting; they show two swans (Schwanen) in front of a city (Stadt). The small shield is the arms of Adam, Count of Herberstorff, who acquired the town of Schwan on June 26, 1627. Within 6 weeks after acquiring the town, he managed to get city rights granted by Emperor Ferdinand II on August 11, 1627. The name then became Schwanenstadt and the city also got a new seal and arms. An image of the new seal and arms are shown below. The arms thus never changed afterwards.
The town of Schwan used a seal since the middle of the 16th century (images known from June 22, 1565) with a single swan in a shield. Whether the name Schwan/Schwancz has anything to do with swans is unlikely though. The animal was later used as a canting symbol.
