The area known as the Aargau was conquered by Bern in 1415 and thus became a part of the Canton of Bern. The area was divided in four cities and the other areas (the 'freie Ämter'). The latter often used arms divided of blue and gold, on which was placed a pillar of silver, with a thread (or snake) winding around the pillar. These arms were, however, no official arms. In official documents a blank shield was used for the area. | The area known as the Aargau was conquered by Bern in 1415 and thus became a part of the Canton of Bern.
