KLEINSÖLK
State : Steiermark
District : Liezen
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on February 2, 1987.
In the Middle Ages, what is now the Kleinsölk municipality belonged to the office of the Marschall von Steiermark, the Lord Marshal of Styria. So, the first seal of the Marshal (13th century) was used as a model for the arms. The panther of Styria was replaced by a stag and maple leaves were added (in lieu of the medieval Seeblätter of the von Wildon family), because Kleinsölk is now a forest preserve. The marshal's rod of office was adorned with a fleur-de-lis in honour of Our Lady.
