history

Arms of the Absbergers according to the Ingeram Codex

The oldest documented seal dates from around 1600 and shows a rafter alone in the coat of arms . This design was from the family crest of Absberger removed, the split of blue and red and it is a silver tip. In 1819 there was a star in a seal under the rafter . In the following period it became a three mountain, as a hint to the place name ending -berg . In a coat of arms from 1812, the rafter is blue in a golden field.
