Historical context
Also contains the arms of the municipalities of Dachsen and Feuerthalen in Canton Zurich.
The panel also bears the arms of the municipality of Fluringen (as recorded on the panel) but they differ from the arms as born today by that municipality. These three municipalities are the district of Andelfingen. The three other arms around the border have not been identified nor have those at the base of the roundel.
