HÖNGG
Canton : Zürich
Incorporated into : 1934 Zürich
Official blazon
In Rot auf grünem Boden eine grüne Rebe mit drei blauen Trauben, die sich um einen goldenen Stickel rankt, im Schildhaupt begleitet rechts von einem silbernen Tatzenkreuz, links von einem silbernen Rebmesser mit goldenem Griff.
Origin/meaning
The arms were adopted on March 12, 1928.
The arms show a grape vine, grape knife and a small cross. The arms are derived from the arms shown in the roll of arms of Konrad Meyer from 1674 for the district (Obervogtei) of Höngg. The arms also appear on numerous occasions, in books and on decorations, in the 18th century and afterwards. The oldest arms of Höngg are mentioned in 1485 in a local chronicle and show St. Mauritius on a red shield. A heraldic table from 1608 shows a blue shield with a plough below a knife flanked by two crosses. The vine and knife obviously refer to the viticulture in the area at the time. The meaning of the small cross is not known.
