SCHAFFHAUSEN
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The canton Schaffhausen probably already used arms in the early 14th century, but the oldest known image dates from 1396. The arms are derived from the banner of the city, which showed a ram. In 1512 the arms were clearly described for the first time, as being gold with a black ram. The city Schaffhausen used the ram coming from a city gate, and both images have also been used for the whole canton during the centuries.
Since 1831 the two arms were clearly separated and the arms of the canton have not changed since.
