The German name of Radovljica was first Radmansdorf and later Radmanstadt. The name can be "read" on the coat of arms: Rad-Mann-Dorf or Rad-Mann-Stadt (Wheel-Man-Village or Wheel-Man-Town).

Uroš Žižmund, 8 February 1997

In 1514, the town used a seal with the coat of arms that is still in use today. The oldest coloured version of the coat of arms is from the roll of arms made by Valvasor in 1687/88, kept today in the National Archives in Zagreb.

Local community of Begunje na Gorenskem

Begunje na Gorenskem (975 inhabitants) is a local community within the municipality of Radovljica. The village is dominated by the Begunjčica mountain (2,063 m). It is the home of the internationally-known Elan company, which manufactures skis (Ingmar Stenmark used Elan skis all over his brilliant career), snowboards and sailboats.

The flag of Begunje is red with three yellow disks placed 2 and 1. Quoting / translating a text from the parish website:

The current flag and coat of arms were first shown in public on 4 May 2004, during the ceremonial session of the Council of the Local Community of Begunje, on the local holyday, 4th May. The proposal for those was prepared by Stane Adam amd Jure Sinobad, based on the methodolocial principles required by the heraldry. In the description of the coat of arms, they wrote:
'The inherited state of the nobility on the fort of Kamen and in Poljče in Begunje is the coat of arms granted in the 14th century. The family from the fort of Kamen used a coat of arms with a ball [roundel] in the shield. The increase of the family and emigration in the beginning of the 14th century made the coat of arms being inherited around. For differentiation, the families adopted the coats of arms with one, two or three balls. The Pfeffl family, from the castle near the church, and the latter Rain (or Rainer) family used three balls on the shield. In the heraldic literature, the Rainer coat of arms is documented as three golden balls on a red shield.
The coat of arms of Rain of Begunje is the coat of arms of the first inhabitants of the Begunje fort, therefore also the coat of arms of the fort and town. The coat of arms of Begunje is autochtonous and is also a symbolic inheritance of ancient Begunje or Njivice, the medieval town and the family from the time when coats of arms were being adopted. The proposal for the coat of arms of Begunje has its symbolic source in the local mythology, its historic source in the fort of Kamen and its heraldic source in the place itself - in Begunje fort and in the fort's family.'
