LUCHSINGEN

Canton : Glarus
Additions : 2004 Diesbach, Hätzingen
Incorporated into : 2011 Glarus-Süd

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially adopted on September 30, 2003.

I have no information on the meaning or origin of these arms. Any information is welcome. The old arms of Luchsingen show a lynx, which in the new arms is combined with three stars and a blue point.

The old arms were adopted on March 17, 1939.

The lynx (German Luchs) is a canting element. The two stars symbolise the villages of Luchsingen and Adlenbach.
