Wappen von Aug-Radisch

Official blazon

In grünem Schild ein auf dem vorderen Schildrand stehender silberner Auerstier, hinten begleitet von einem verminderten silbernen Pfahl; Schild und Pfahl mit Blättchen des Wiesenknopfes in verwechselten Farben bestreut.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on February 27th, 1995.

The name of the municipality is very old. Radisch derives from old Slavic radu-, meaning gladly, readily, and implying a busy way.

The oxen was the arms of a local family of the Middle Ages, the Auers (Auerochs). It was put on the shield together with a pale, symbolising the medieval way, and with the leaves of the Great Burnet (Wiesenknopf Sanguisorba officinalis), a plant growing near brooks and rivers.
