WINKLERN BEI OBERWÖLZ

State : Steiermark
District : Murau
Incorporated into : 2015 Oberwölz

Official blazon

Von Blau und Rot durch zwei gestürzte allseits anstoßende silberne rechte Winkel geteilt; im Schildfuß ein silberner Dreiberg von ineinandergeschobenen Hügeln, aus dem in das obere Feld eine silberne Linde in Form eines Lebensbaumes mit silberner Lilie an der Spitze wächst.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on December 19, 1994.

Winklern's parish church is dedicated to Our Lady and was built on a hill, called Lindbichel. So a heraldic hill was put into the shield, along with a linden tree adorned with the Fleur-de-lis, which is a symbol for Our Lady. The two chevrons reversed illustrate the name of the municipality, Winklern, hidden in its "nook" (Winkel) in a mountain valley.
