GROSS-WILFERSDORF

State : Steiermark
District : Fürstenfeld

Origin/meaning :
The arms were granted on ??-20, 1975.

The charges of the arms were taken from the arms of the von Kornpeck und Wilfersdorf families, as displayed on a tombstone of 1621.

The ears of corn were canting arms on Kornpeck, the wolf may have hinted at Wilfersdorf (based on old names and variations of the name).

Literature : Image provided by Karl Palfrader (k.palfrader@aon.at), MStLA Folge 26 (1976), p. 25.
