Origin/meaning

The arms were granted in 1912.

The arms are derived from the arms of the Nollingen family, known from seals since the 13^th century. The town was called Nollingen until 1922, after the merger with the village of Warmbach.

The new name Rheinfelden was adopted, with the addition of (Baden) to distinguish the new city from the Swiss town with the same name.
