===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The arms were adopted in 1958. | |||
The red castle is taken from the arms of the Lords of Rothenburg (=red-castle). These gave their arms to the town of [[Rothenburg (Luzern)|Rotheburg]] and later to the Rothenburg District (Amt or LandvogteiRotheburg) within the canton Luzern (until 1795). Geuensee was part of this district and thus used the arms with the castle. | |||
Thee three golden balls, refer to the three golden apples of St. NIchoals, Bishop of Myra, the church patron of Geuensee. | |||
Before 1958 the municipality used the arms of [[Rothenburg (Luzern)|Rotheburg]]. | |||
In 1987 the arms below were shown for the municipality, but these have never been used:<br> | |||
