Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on June 6, 1977.

Limberg is a corruption of Lindenberg, hence the linden leafs and the mountain in the arms.

The chapel is dedicated to St Barbara and was a built by the miners (in Styria, we usually call them "Bergknappen") of the coal-mine Steyeregg (now closed down).
