State : Wien (Vienna)

Origin/meaning

The arms show a magpie on a tree. The meaning thereof I do not know.

Tn the arms of the new 9th district of Vienna Michelbeuern is represented by the two silver wings of the archangel Michael, patron saint of Michelbeuern abbey (near Salzburg), which owned the land in this area.

Literature : Ströhl, 1902; Coffee Hag album, 1930s; http://www.wien.gv.at/bezirke/bezirkswappen/
