English |
Arms: Per fesse, the chief per pale gules and vert, the base sable, on a fesse argent a hurt charged with an egg erect proper. |
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted in 1802.
Unfortunately we have no information on the meaning or origin of these arms yet.
If you have any information on the origin or meaning of these arms, or have additional images that you want to share, please mail us your information !
The colours and the egg are based on the arms of Linnaues (Carl von Linné), see below. The crest is the Linnea borealis, the favourite flower of Linnaeus.
