WAGNA
State : Steiermark
District : Leibnitz
Origin/meaning :
The arms were granted on July 11, 1960.
Wagna has a long history which goes back to a settlement of Celts in today's municipality. Out of this settlement grew the municipium Flavia Solva. This survived as long as the Roman Empire continued.
The design of the arms follows a coin from Roman times, found during excavations. It illustrates the saying "friendship is the key to harvest".
