Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on June 1st, 1992.

Stambach lies in a wooded part of Eastern Styria. Even the name hints at the fine tree trunks (Stamm) in the surrounding woods. So planks of wood and pole wood were put into the arms and combined with the attributes of St. Pancratius, patron saint of the church, and the Meise (tits) arms of the Meisenberger family, who were the landowners in the region during the Middle Ages.
