STECKBORN
Canton : Thurgau
District : Frauenfeld
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The arms have been in use since the 17th century and have not been formally granted.
The ring probably is the oldest symbol for the town, and may have been taken from the arms of the Landerberg or Knöring families, which were of importance in the town. The two staffs may have been added as a symbol taken from the arms of the Labhart family.
The oldest image of the arms shows only the ring and dated from 1543. It is visible in the city hall of Stein am Rhein. The oldest image of the present arms dates from 1585 on a stone in the Steckborn town hall.
Historical use of the arms:
 The arms from 1585 |
 The arms in 1665 |
 The local seal in use since 1662 |
 The local seal from 1800 |
 The arms as shown in the town hall | |
 Different versions of the arms in the Coffee Hag albums 1910-1960 |
