BÜLACH
Canton: Zürich
German | In Rot der silberne Laurentiusrost. |
English | blazon wanted |
Origin/meaning
The arms were adopted on July 3, 1931.
The arms show a grill, symbol for St. Lawrence, the local patron saint since at least 811.
The oldest known seal of Bülach dates from 1424 and shows the grill and two small shields with the arms of Austria (the town was an Austrian possession at the time).
The grill appears for the first time as arms in a document from the end of the 15th century. The colours were then already red and silver, probably the Austrian colours.
After the reformation the grill, as a Catholic symbol, was removed and the city used a diagonally divided shield (see below, probably based on the arms of Zürich) in silver and red. The grill was not completely forgotten though, and in the late 19th century the grill appeared in the red part of the divided shield. Until 1931 several variations of the arms were used, but finally the historical arms were officially restored.
