coat of arms

Felben
Wellhausen
Unified Church

Blazon : Divided by red with white willow and by yellow with a black grooved castle with an open gate and two tinned towers .

The current municipal coat of arms emerged in 1983 from the amalgamation of the coats of arms carried by the earlier local communities, which should also symbolize the future merger. The use of red and white goes back to the time before 1798, when Felben was still under the city of Frauenfeld. The castle in the lower part indicates that it was part of the Wellenberg Castle . The colors are also those of the gentlemen from Wellenberg.
