Official blazon

Ein achtspeichiges goldenes Rad in rotem Schild.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on October 11, 1993 and again on October 1, 2015.

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 13^th 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).

The arms around 1500
The arms by Zacharias Bartsch (1567)
