history

Gröbming around 1830,
Lith. Institution JF Kaiser, Graz

A tombstone that is kept in the Catholic parish church has been preserved as evidence of Roman settlement .

From 700 to 1000 Slavs and Bavarians settled the region. Several farms were first mentioned in documents in the 11th century. During the Reformation , Grobming was evangelical.

The earliest written document is from 1139 and is "Grebin". The name goes back to the Slovenian greben (comb, ridge).

When Gröbming became an independent market town in the course of the abolition of the manors in 1848/49, it had had an unsecuritized market right for a long time .

Thousands of refugees stayed in Gröbming during the Second World War .

In 1947 the pastor Leopold Achberger from Gröbming was elected as the first superintendent of the newly founded Evangelical Superintendent of A. B. Styria . Until it was moved to Graz in 1951, his official seat was in Gröbming.

In 1979 a bypass was created.

coat of arms

Description of coat of arms :

"Under blue shield main in dentil in silver field pole as two red lilies rods whose shanks bar-shaped twelve red Apostle crosses accompanied in two rows."

A Gröbming coat of arms can already be found in Schmutz 1822, where it shows a landscape image of a rock group with isolated spruce trees, in front of it a meadow with a brook flowing across the shield and two houses in the foreground. In Widimsky 1864 it shows white (silver) tombstones and grave crosses (instead of rocks and spruce trees), a white path (instead of the stream), chapel and tower-high building, white with red roofs, all on a green meadow under a blue sky.

Today's coat of arms shows two lilies rods as a sign of legal violence , twelve crosses for the apostle altar of the Catholic Church , the sky and the field separating dentil documents the Slavic language roots greben of the place name and the mountains .

The market town received today's coat of arms on July 11, 1994.
