ISHØJ (until 1978 Thorslunde-Ishøj)
Region : Hovedstaden
Amt (until 2007) : København
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The arms were devised in 1953 for Thorslunde-Ishøj municipality, which changed its name in 1978 to Ishøj.
The hammer is the hammer of Thor and was canting for Thorslunde. The golden hills ('høj') are canting for Ishøj. The cross is derived from an old cross in the local graveyard and the horn symbolises the fact for many centuries there has been some Royal hunting grounds in the municipality.
