HUSSEREN-WESSERLING
Département : Haut-Rhin
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted in 1980.
The demi-castle symbolises the hunting castle of the Abbot-Princes of Murbach, built between 199 and 1705. In 1762 the castle was transformed into a factory for fine cotton products. The factory received Royal recognition and this is symbolised by the fleur-de-lis derived from the French Royal arms.
The wavy bars symbolise the Thur river, which runs through the village.
The village is entitled to use the decorations of the Croix de Guerre 1914-1918 around the arms.
