Origin/meaning
The town grew rapidly due to the mining industry. The first iron factory was built in 1668/71, but the real growth started in the 19th century.
The mining tools in the upper right corner are a symbol thereof. The wavy bars and the eel are canting (Wasser=water, Aal=eel). The colours are taken from the colours of the arms of the local Ahelfingen family.
The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
