Arms of Drösing, Austria

Granted 1983; probably in use for much longer

Blazon: Azure a tower argent triple-gated sable charged with an escutcheon per fess of the field and gules, issuant from the partition line a demi-lion rampant double-queued of the second

I have absolutely no idea where these arms come from, but they do seem to be fairly old. While there was definitely an official grant in 1983, there’s also a very old-looking seal depicting the exact same arms. It was apparently used by Ulrich Diemsch, judge of “Drezzing,” and the spelling of the name seems to indicate a mid-fourteenth century origin. There are records of an “Eberhard von Dresing” as a vassal of the Kuenringer family around the end of the thirteenth century, but if he (or his descendents) bore arms, I couldn’t find them.

Dann las ich über das Projekt des Alpen-Karpaten-Korridors, welches den freien Wildwechsel von den Karpaten über die March- und Donauauen bis in die Alpen zu ermöglichen versucht. Unmittelbarer Anlaß war aber der Föhrenwald in den…
