Coat of arms of Kindberg, Austria

On my walk to an industrial heritage site next to Kindberg, I came across the city arms of Kindberg. I saw them at an unofficial town sign at the city boundary. The photo displays the inverted side of the city arms.

The meaning of Kindberg

The meaning refers to a legend about a missed child after a flood. It was finally found on top of a hill, playing with flowers. This legend tries to explain the city name: Kind- (child) and –berg (hill). Actually, the city’s name originates from the feudal family of chindeberc.
