SLOVENJ GRADEC
Origin/meaning
The arms were adopted on June 25, 1991.
The coat of arms of Slovenj Gradec is based on the seal of the city from 1310, picturing the city gate with two watch towers. Historically the arms were often shown in different composition, with different shapes of the tower, with or without a mountain in the base and with red, green or blue shield.
 The arms by Zacharias Bartsch (1567) |
 The arms by Ströhl (1904) |
 The arms in the Coffee Hag album +/- 1932 |
 The arms by Kobel (1954) |
There is also the possibility that the arms have been confused by several authors with the arms of Slovenska Bistrica.
