PIRKA

State : Steiermark
District : Graz-Umgebung
Incorporated into : 2015 Seiersberg-Pirka

Arms of Pirka

Official blazon

Im grünen Schild ein silbernes Ochsenjöchl, darüber aus dem Schildrand wachsend ein schräglinks gestellter goldener Bischofsstab.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on February 7, 1977.

The municipality is devoted mostly to agriculture and market-gardening for the markets at Graz. The ox-yoke is a powerful symbol of this as well as a reference to a topographic name in the municipality, Ochsenjöchl (small ox-yoke).

The crozier stands for the archdiocese of Salzburg, land-owner in the area since the Middle Ages.
