ZAUGGENRIED
Canton : Bern
Incorporated into : 2014 Fraubrunnen
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The arms were devised in 1933 and are based on the arms of the Lords of Kyburg, who used two lions and a bend. The family held some possessions in the area in the Middle Ages. The colour of the field was made green, as a canting symbol for Ried (area cleared for agriculture). The two stars represent the villages Zauggenried and Moos.
Literature : Wappenbuch des Kantons Bern, 1981.
