JUDENDORF-STRASSENGEL
State : Steiermark
District : Graz-Umgebung
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on July 1st, 1963.
The arms are canting: The Straße (road) and the Engel (angel), according to popular opinion the sources of the name of Straßengel, are represented. Straßengel is a place of pilgrimage, too (Church of Our Lady).
Philologically however, the name of Straßengel derives from the Slavic word "straza", meaning lookout or vantage point.
