SANKT OSWALD OB EIBISWALD
State : Steiermark
District : Deutschlandsberg
Incorporated into : 2015 Eibiswald
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on May 11, 1987.
St. Oswald is a name not infrequent in the mountain regions of Austria. Among others, he is a patron of miners, but also of cattle-breeders. When Prince Oswald of Northumbria was to be anointed in the course of his coronation, the phial with the sacred oil was destroyed. A raven brought him another. So, the raven and the phial (often in the form of a cup) are the chief attributes of St. Oswald. The arms of St. Oswald display the cup of the saint.
