PUCHENAU
State : Oberösterreich
District : Urfahr-Umgebung
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on July 24, 1978.
The arms are canting for the town, as the name is derived from a meadow (Au) full of beeches (Buchen). The wavy bend in the base of the arms symbolises the Donau (Danube) river.
Literature : Baumert, H.E. : Oberösterreichische Gemeindewappen, Linz, 1996.
