Heraldry of the World Civic heraldry of Austria - Österreichische Gemeindewappen |
|
GRÖBMING
State : Steiermark
District : Liezen
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on July 11, 1994.
The two sceptres are to symbolise judges staffs. In medieval times, Gröbming was divided in two judicial districts (Hofmarken) by the landowners, the Bishop of Chiemsee and the Archbishop of Salzburg. Only in 1803 Gröbming was made part of the Duchy of Styria. The chief of the shield indicates a rocky formation after which Gröbming was named (grim de grebnic, something like "cockscomb").
The twelve crosses stand for the Holy Apostles. Gröbming's parish church boasts a famous altar by Lienhard Astl, dedicated to the Apostles.
