WIEN-HUNGELBRUNN
State : Wien (Vienna)
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The name is a dialect version of a mythical "Hungerbrunn", a "well of famine", denoting a well or fountain, which only carried water in years of famine. This is (or rather, was) a widespread popular belief in Austria. Similar wells, springs or even creeks can be found in many parts of Austria.
The arms show the well, surrounded by the saints Leopold (for Niederösterreich), Florian (as protector against fire and patron saint of St Florian's church in Matzleinsdorf) and Peter.
The region is now part of the 4th municipal district, Wieden.
