Origin/meaning

Feldbach has used arms for a long time, at least in seals. Emperor Franz Joseph I granted arms to the city of Feldbach at Feb. 1, 1909.

The fish does appear in seals from the Middle Ages. An escutcheon bearing the Styrian panther was eliminated in 1909, but maybe by way of recompense an angel was included into the full arms as a single supporter of the old arms. The full achievement is surmounted by a mural crown silver.

The arms in the Coffee Hag album +/- 1932
