The arms of Ottokar III: Vert a panther argent rampant
From the Marburg line of the Counts of Sponheim, he inherited parts of Lower Styria between the Drave and Save rivers in what is today Slovenia. From his uncle, the last Count of Formbach, he inherited the County of Pitten in 1158, which is today in Lower Austria, but remained part of Styria until the 16th century. To improve connection to that territory, he improved the roads across the Semmering Pass, and he also erected a hospital in Spital am Semmering in 1160 as well as completing the colonization of the area around the Traisen and Gölsen rivers.
