BÜREN AN DER AARE
Canton : Bern

Origin/meaning
The origin of these arms is not quite clear. The area was conquered by Bern in 1388, and the claw may be derived from the arms of Bern. The arms have been used since the 15th century for the new district and the city of Büren took the arms from the district around 1500.
The present district still uses the same arms.

 Variations of the arms in the Kaffee Hag albums 1914-1960 |
 |
The medieval seals of Büren show a rather different composition. The oldest seal shows an ibex (of unknown meaning/origin), the three later known seals all show St. Catherine, the patron saint of the city.
 The first seal (used from 1273) |
 The second seal (used from 1341) |
 The third seal (used from 1405) |
 The fourth seal (used from 1483) |
