Origin/meaning

The arms were officially adopted on April 18, 1939.

The arms show a warrior of the Allaman tribe. The meaning hereof is that the name Hätzingen may have been derived from a meaning "place of Hazzo", Hazzo being a Allaman name. The Allamans were a Germanic tribe living in present Switzerland in late Roman times.

Literature : Tschudi-Schümperlin, 1941
