coat of arms
The municipal coat of arms was awarded with effect from January 1, 1967.
Blazon (coat of arms description):
- "In a shield divided by green and gold, above three silver plowshares standing side by side, below a red lion growing out of a stone-colored battlement wall."
Since the coat of arms of the founders of the village, the knights of Hausmannstätten, who appear in documents from 1316 to 1457, has not survived, the lion coat of arms of the most important landlords of this area, the von Vasoldsberg family, has been in existence since the 15th century is extinct, included in the municipal coat of arms. This could happen all the sooner as the Vasoldsberg coat of arms was not passed on. The high-altitude castle Vasoldsberg, visible from afar, still gives the landscape a characteristic image today. The three plowshares refer to the blacksmith's workshop Fuchs, which was active in the municipality at the beginning of the 19th century, whose factory-made plows and harrows enjoyed a good reputation in Styria and far beyond.
parish
Hausmannstätten has been its own parish again since 1964. GR Josef Ament became pastor after the re-establishment. Under his leadership, the parish was one of the first parishes in Styria to have a parish council (PGR). The first PGR chairman was Josef Hubmann. In the baroque parish church of the Holy Trinity from the 15th and 17th centuries, a Gothic group of apostles has been preserved, which is a model of the life-size group of apostles in the cathedral of Wiener Neustadt .
