In blauem Schild über silbern geflutetem Schildfuß eine silbern gemauerte gewölbte Bogenbrücke mit vier Pfeilern, auf dieser stehend ein goldener Löwe mit aufgerichteter doppelter Rute, aufgesetzter goldener Königskrone und rot ausgeschlagener Zunge, zwischen beiden Pranken einen aufwärts gestellten silbernen Anker haltend, durch dessen Ring ein goldener Zopf gezogen ist.
Origin/meaning
Kapfenberg was granted arms by Emperor Ferdinand III on December 15, 1639 and again on December 1, 2015.
The borough was well-off because it was in the mining region, with plenty of ironworks nearby. Traffic was also important (bridge). The "anchor" was taken from the arms of the Counts of Stubenberg to whom the castle of Oberkapfenberg belonged for more than 700 years. Originally, the anchor was a so-called Wolfssense (wulf's scythe) or Wurfbarte, a weapon.
