The arms show an ibex, a
typical animal for the high mountains in the municipality, taken from
the arms of the lords of Neukirchen. The point symbolises the mountains,
especially the Grossvenediger, Austria's second highest mountain. The
ibex has a red-white ball between his forefeet; this symbol comes from
the arms of the Kuenburg family.
