coat of arms

Blazon

An upright silver ploughshare in red.

The oldest depiction of a coat of arms of the municipality of Lohn can be found in 1569. It depicts an upright ploughshare in yellow. At the end of the 16th century there is a depiction with a shield split in red and gold, backed up by a six-pointed star in mixed up colors. Another depiction from this time is an upright, blue grape on a white background. At the time of the Helvetic , the seal represented typical symbols from that time, the freedom hat over a plumb line. In the following mediation , this seal was turned away and created a new seal depicting an upright ploughshare. In order to prevent differentiation with other, similar coats of arms, it was suggested in 1949 that the ploughshare should be combined with a brick model as a symbol of the industry that had been flourishing for centuries. However, this was ultimately rejected.

Tower of the Lohner Church

Church of Lohn : This historical landmark of the Reiat, which was consecrated to Saint Martin at the time , was first mentioned relatively late, on February 1, 1259, but both its location and, in particular, the Franconian patron saint - the Another Martinskirche in the canton, Merishausen , is attested for example as early as 846 - with the greatest probability that it was also much earlier, perhaps as early as the 9th or 10th century.
