ALTHOFEN
State : Kärnten
District : Sankt Veit an der Glan
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on December 11, 1479.
The arms show a bundle of iron rods on a heraldic mountain, surmounted by a fleur-de-lys. Althofen is situated on a sharp hill. In historic times, the city was of key importance because of the iron ore mines in the mountains nearby. The ore was smelted locally and brought to Althofen, where it was sold.
