DIENERSDORF
State : Steiermark
District : Hartberg
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on June 7, 1993.
The arms of Dienersdorf are based on those of a family of local landowners, the Pankl family.
The burning boughs or branches are a reference to the first known lord of this region, Diethbrant von Safen (12th century). In popular etymology, his name is associated with fire ("Brand").
