HART-PURGSTALL
(until 2003 Purgstall bei Eggersdorf)
State : Steiermark
District : Graz-Umgebung
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on July 1, 1992.
The arms were based on the coat of arms of the monastery of Seckau. The line of partition is embattled, because a Burgstall is a small fortified manor (which has nowadays disappeared). The branch of thorns and the rose hint at the castle of Dornhofen (Dorn=thorn).
