SANKT ANNA AM AIGEN
State : Steiermark
District : Feldbach
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on October 15, 1952.
The ibex refers to a topographical name in the municipality. The patriarchal cross is a remembrance to Andreas Frühwirth, Cardinal and Poenitentiarius Maior of the Church (first half of the last century), who was born in St. Anna. In his Cardinal's arms he bore the Styrian panther, holding a patriarchal cross.
