Category: 1.01 Original scientific paperLanguage: Original in Slovene (Abstract in Slovene and English, Summary in English) Key words: duchy of Styria, styrian coat of arms, Otakars, house of Babenberg, Ottokar II of Bohemia, Béla IV of Hungary, lords of Wildon, Austrian Rhyme Chronicle, Ottokar aus der Gaal, Zürich ArmorialExtract: The theme of the present article are the origins and the beginning of the coat of arms of the duchy of Styria, still in use today by today's Austrian state with the same name. Before 1918 it was used by the then still undivided duchy. The basic purpose of the research is the critical review and supplementation of the currently already known facts, discovered by the Austrian historians of the past. The very first beginnings of the Styrian coat of arms with the (white or. silver) panther (on a green base) can be traced back to the 12th century. This symbol obviously did not have its origins with the noble house of Bamberg. Its motive is clearly much older. The present coat of arms became established by the 13th century. Considering the sources of that time, what we have in mind are mostly seals on contemporary documents, together with the first descriptions in narrative sources. Here we mean the so-called Austrian Rhyme Chronicle.
