Politics The official blazon of the municipal coat of arms awarded in 1982 reads:"In red, a silver Aquarius, half human, half fish, with the right angles pointing upwards, holding the left silver gypsum crystals."- Styrian Provincial Government The Aquarius in the coat of arms is an allusion to the legend of Aquarius in the Grundlsee : An Aquarius caught in the Grundlsee is said to have released the salt deposit in Sandling in the neighboring town of Altaussee in order to obtain his release. The gypsum crystals in his hand are a reference to the gypsum deposit at Grundlsee. The color red should point to the vital importance of salt, the silver color to the salt itself. Culture Architecture Kreuzkapelle Imperial stable The Imperial stable is a former stable building in the district of Mosern. As early as 1568 a Fischmeisterhaus on Grundlsee was mentioned, which included a barn and a stable. One of the two buildings is today's imperial stable. Its name is reminiscent of the time, when the Fischmeistergut was still "imperial-high Forst ärar ". In 1928, the entire estate was incorporated into the Federal Treasury and in 1941 became the property of the Reichsforst Administration of the German Reich . In 1947 it returned to the possession of the Republic of Austria , which passed it in 1952 by name to the Austrian Federal Forestry. The former stable no longer served as a stable, but was used as a storage room and payout room for the lumberjacks. Today, the imperial stable serves as a space for exhibitions. The building is on the ground floor, the two upper floors are made of wood. Fischkalter Ranftlmühle The wooden Ranftlmühle, built in 1850 on the River Stimitz , was named after the Viennese painter Johann Matthias Ranftl (1804-1854), who liked to spend time at the Grundlsee. In recent years, the mill has been extensively renovated. Schachner mill Toplitzklause Museums In the municipality is the Imperial stable, which is used during the summer months for exhibitions.
