====Origin/meaning====
===Origin/meaning===
The arms shows a point, pictured as stairs. These represent the fact that the Canal du Rhône au Rhin, which canal passes through Retzwiller, attains its highest altitude in Retzwiller (about 348 m) on its way from [[Mulhouse]] to [[Sochaux]]. From the Rhine up to Retzwiller the reaches ("biefs" in French, in other words the part of the canal between two locks) are ascending up to Retzwiller where the highest "reach" is located. From this highest "reach" in Retzwiller the canal goes on descending in direction South (towards Sochaux) until the Rhône.
