MARIA BUCH-FEISTRITZ
State : Steiermark
District : Murtal (until 2015 Judenburg)
Incorporated into : 2015 Weißkirchen in Steiermark
Official blazon
Zwischen blauen Zinnenflanken in Silber über einem blauen Buch mit silbernen Beschlägen eine blaue Lilie.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on May 8, 1989.
The earliest colonists came in the 10th century. They were Baiern (predecessor of today's Bavaria). So, the arms employ the Bavarian tinctures. Maria Buch is a place of pilgrimages. Buch originally meant "in the beeches". Buch can also mean "book". The fleur-de-lis represents Our Lady. The flanks embattled are a symbol for the many small Wehrhöfe (fortified homesteads and small manors), which existed in the Middle Ages.
