GLEINSTÄTTEN
State : Steiermark
District : Leibnitz
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on January 19, 1959.
The flaming sword is the attribute of the holy Archangel Michael, patron saint of Gleinstätten. The bird is a peacock, the main charge in the arms of the family of Gleinzer. The Gleinzer were local noblemen in the Middle Ages. They held the castle at Gleinstätten, which, eventually, took its name after the family.
