coat of arms

Official description of the municipal coat of arms: In red, a golden star accompanied by two golden grapevine leaves, enclosed by two slanted silver bars. The community colors are yellow-green.

The star is taken from the coat of arms of Baron Konrad Schütz von Holzhausen, which can be seen on a portrait oil painting from the period 1530/40, restored in 1950, and on a keystone of the vault in the parish church built around 1550. In addition, two grapevine leaves, which are to remind of the now completely extinct, medieval open-air viticulture in the former Pannonian climate of the central and eastern Alpine foothills between Traisen, Enns and Inn (today still the field name "Weinberg" for a slope in the town center).

The first documentary mention of Holzhausen took place in 1130 as the seat of the rulership of Holzhusen . In 1475 the current church was built in Gothic style as a castle church of the Schütz family .
