Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on June 21st, 1982.
The arms allude to the founding myth of salt mining in Upper Styria: A Wassermann (water spirit) was captured by humans; in order to ransom himself he showed them the Sandling mountain, which contains salt. In the Middle ages, salt was of course very valuable and much sought-after.
Today, the mining of gypsum is more important; so, the water spirit is holding a crystal of gypsum in his hand.
