Coat of arms

 by Zeljko Heimer

The coat of arms of Selnica op Drave pictures an apple surounded by a crozier issuing from water surmonded with a fir tree.

The symbolic is explained as follows: green for the Koban hills, forests and pastures, the crozier for the synthesis of past and present, while its lower end recalls the belfry of St. Marietta. The four rings on the crozier are for the unity of the villages in the municipality and the apple stands for the orchads. The fir tree stands for the woodwork tradition and the water stands for the oldest hydroelectric power plant on the river Drava.
