Coat of arms of Golling
At the top of the coat of arms you can see the church patron saint Johann evangelist. He is holding a golden glass in the left hand and is blessing it with his right hand.
At the bottom there is a black raven with a golden ring in his beak.
History of the raven:
"A long time ago there was a castle at the 'Hiasenwand'. One day, when the woman of the castle was having a wash, she put her diamond ring on the window ledge. The ring was missing since that day. They suspected the valet of stolen the ring, so he was executed. After that a shepherd found the ring in a raven nest. Since that day the raven with the ring is shown on the coat of arms.
