Armoiries de Guewenheim

Official blazon

Origin/meaning

The lion is taken from the arms of the abbey of Masevaux. This abbey possessed grounds in Guewenheim, and the court of the abbey held once a year a session in Guewenheim, which is symbolised by the scales. The ploughs are a symbol for agriculture and are the old village symbol. The fish are derived from the arms of the counts of Ferrette, who historically played a major role in Guewenheim.
