Official blazon
German	In einem goldenen, blau bordierten Schilde sind die stilisierten Konturen des steirischen Erzberges mit seinen Stufen in seiner derzeitigen Gestalt in Form von roten Linien zu sehen. Im Schilde steht auf steinernem Boden die Gestalt eines in der weißen Tracht mit Kapuze eines Bergmannes und mit schwarzen Schuhen angetanen Jünglings, der mit beiden Händen ein rotes, von einem silbernen Balken durchzogenes und mit einer bergmännischen Kratze und einem Bergeisen pfahlweise nebeneinander belegtes Schildchen hält.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on August 31, 1948.

Eisenerz (literally: iron ore) has been mining town for more than a 1000 years. So, a miner in traditional white attire forms the principal charge, holding the Austrian National arms ensigned with a miner's tools.

The chief mining site, the Erzberg (ore mountain), has been included into the arms. It has always been important enough to be dubbed the "eiserner Brotlaib" (iron bread). Surface mining has shaped the mountain into a sequence of huge steps.

In an armorial from 1445 the arms for the town show an ostrich holding a horseshoe (compare Leoben). This symbol is based on the legend that an ostrich was an iron (or metal) eating bird, and was thus used more frequently in iron-mining towns.
