Wappen von Hafning bei Trofaiach

Official blazon

Origin/meaning

This municipality is situated in the mining region of Upper Styria: Iron ore has been the country's life-blood (economically spoken). Hence the old symbol for iron in the arms. Only at the end of the 19th century was coke introduced in the Styrian smelting industry; until then, charcoal had been used. The charcoal had been produced and supplied by the local farmers, who made a bit of money on the side this way. A traditional charcoal cart has been placed in the upper part of the coat of arms to symbolise this tradition.
