BÜREN AN DER AARE
Canton : Bern
Official blazon
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.
