HANNERSDORF
State : Burgenland
District : Oberwart
Official blazon
Zwischen schwarzen, durch goldene Zinnen gespaltene Flanken ein oben und unten anstoßender Römerstein mit goldenem Bord und rotem Feld, darin golden aus einem Akantheros ein Weinstock mit vier Blättern und vier Trauben wachsend.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted in 1994.
The embattlements refer to the medieval fortifications in the village of Burg in the municipality. The centre part of the arms shows a Roman stone, which is now built in in the parish church of Hannersdorf, and symbolises the very long tradition of viticulture in the area. The stone itself dates form the 2nd or 3rd century and may already have been part of the medieval church. Kaus (2001) provides a detailed history of the stone.
