Blazon in German:

Das Land Kärnten führt als Landeswappen das historische Wappen. Der Schild des Landeswappens ist von Gold und Rot gespalten; vorn sind drei schwarze, rotbezungte und gewaffnete Löwen übereinander, hinten ein silberner Balken. Der gekrönte Turnierhelm mit rotgoldenen Decken trägt zwei goldene Büffelhörner, die aussen mit je fünf goldenen Stäbchen besteckt sind, von denen rechts je drei schwarze, links je drei rote Lindenblätter herabhängen.

Arms: Per pale: 1. Or three lions passant sable, armed and langued gules; 2. Gules, a fess argent.

Crest: The crowned jousting-helmet mantled gules lined or bears two buffalo-horns or, from each of which project five barrulets or; from each of the five dexter hang three linden-leaves sable, from each of the five sinister three gules.
