HILSENHEIM
Département : Bas-Rhin
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The name is derived from two words "Hilsen", meaning warrior, and "heim" or home. The meaning of Hilsenheim thus is "the home or village of the warrior", and when the fighter did retire, and maybe received the village as a gift, he did break his sword, which is symbolised by the arms.
The French royal "lys" flower that is on the sword symbolised (before the 1789 revolution) the village's allegiance to the French king.
 The arms by Schœnhaupt, 1900 |
 The arms in the Café Sanka album +/- 1932 |
