SANKT MARTIN IM SULMTAL
State : Steiermark
District : Deutschlandsberg
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on 9 June, 1975.
Within the municipality, coal was mined, hence the miners' tools (Bergwerkszeichen). Agriculture has always been important, which is illustrated by the wheat-ear. There are also many fish ponds in the municipality, an additional source of income for the farmers, hence the carp.
The arms in sinister chief are taken from the coat of arms of the Counts of Welsersheimb, who had the castle of Welsbergl built in 1765. The castle dominates the landscape to this day.
