Wappen von Altenhaßlau

Official blazon

(de) In goldenem Schild ein gotisches großes rotes A.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted in 1951.

The oldest use of arms for the village dates from a seal from 1461. The seal showed a saint holding a shield with a chevron and chief. The chief and chevron thus formed a Gothic letter A, the town's initial. The same composition can be seen on a seal from 1670 and the local church bell from 1675. The saint probably was the local patron saint, St. Martin of Tours.

A seal from 1721 showed the above armsl the chief and chevron have been shortened to form a proper letter A.

These arms were granted in 1951 in the colours of the County of Hanau, to which the area historically belonged.
