The old mining settlement in the neighborhood of copper mines was promoted to a Free Mining Town on July 2nd, 1528, by Ferdinand I. to the stature of a Free Mining Town. | |||
The municipal coat-of-arms, granted at the same time, shows the figure of St. Catherine, clad in a green robe. She bears in her left hand a sword, in her right hand a branch. The wheel in the base and crest are also symbols for St. Catherine. | |||
On both sides of the Saint are two little shields. The right hand one is decorated with silver mining hammers. The left one bears a mill-stone. The mill-stone was the common charge of the coat of-arms of the Lords of Veitmile, who were the owners of the town at the time when the town rights were granted. | |||
