Heraldry of the World Civic heraldry of France - Armorial de France |
OBERHASLACH
Département : Bas-Rhin
Origin/meaning
The right half of the arms shows a hazel branch. This is a canting symbol (Hasel in German, Haslach means stream between the hazel trees). The black stick was a type of stick used by the local shepherds. In the 19th century Oberhaslach was a village which was dependent on animal husbandry and thus there were a lot of shepherds in the village.
The arms in the Café Sanka album +/- 1932 |
