SANKT RADEGUND BEI GRAZ

State : Steiermark
District : Graz-Umgebung

Arms of Sankt Radegund bei Graz

Official blazon

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on April 1, 1963.

The wooden bath-tub illustrates the fact that the municipality is a spa and famed for its favourable climate.
The wolves' heads are attributes of St. Radegundis, a very interesting saint. She lived in the 5th or 6th centuries, I think, and was a Thuringian princess, who became a queen of Merovingian France by marriage. Later, she founded a nunnery and joined holy orders. She was an ordained deacon, too. Churches dedicated to her are few and far between, but they are scattered over the whole of Europe. Often, a spring or a brook is near the church.
