EGUISHEIM
Département : Haut-Rhin
French | De gueules à saint Pierre de carnation, habillé d'argent et au manteau d'or, sur une terrasse de sinople, tenant dans sa dextre une clef d'argent et dans sa senestre un livre du même.
Origin/meaningThe arms show the local patron saint, St. Peter, holding a key as his symbol. The image already appeared from the oldest known seal of the village (known since 1350). Only in the 19th century two crossed keys were also used as arms, as a symbol for St. Peter. The municipality however continues the use of St. Peter.
