coat of arms
Blazon: In silver on a green three-mountain, a tree with a black trunk, green crown and red fruits.
The coat of arms was approved in 1905, but its origin is older. The seal at that time still showed a deciduous tree and was therefore identical to the seal of the neighboring municipality of Hilzingen, only on the proposal of the General State Archives in 1902 was the apple tree in the coat of arms to better differentiate it, which was then approved in this form by the municipal council.
Economy and Infrastructure
Today, Riedheim is primarily a residential location for commuters to Switzerland. Agriculture only has a relatively minor role to play in the economic importance of the place.
