BAD RADKERSBURG

State : Steiermark
District : Bad Radkersburg

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on October 11, 1993.

Radkersburg was founded in the middle ages as a border town, for trade and as a fortification. It has received city rights in the late 13th century.

The arms are canting. Radkersburg appears to be called after a medieval nobleman, but this is disputed among historians. For centuries, the city has used a seal showing a wheel (Rad).
