Origin/meaning

The arms were officially adopted on February 10, 1928.

The arms are derived from the family arms of the nobles of Hottingen. The Hottingers played a role in Kilchberg from the middle of the 13^th century.

The oldest arms of the town show a key for St. Peter, the local patron saint. After the Reformation the Hottingen arms appear and can be found for the first time on the Zurich administrative register of 1548.
