Slovak Civic Heraldry Slovenská Heraldika Miest a Obcí (Heraldický Register SR) PEZINOK Origin/meaning: The arms have been used by the city since the 15th century on the local seals. The arms were officially granted in 1647 by Emperor Ferdinand III. Even though the seal and old arms show St. Mary Immaculata, the arms were officially described as showing St. Anne. In 1902 the description of the arms was corrected. The actual image used, however changed during the 20th century and in 1990 the arms below were adopted by the city. These arms were used only one year, as in 1991 the above arms were granted. Pezinok is the centre of one of Slovakia's wine regions and in 1948 and 1979 attempts were made to add some symbols of viticulture to the arms or to replace the old arms with new arms showing only symbols of viticulture. These attempts were never officially accepted. Literature : Kartous and Vrteľ , 2000
