Wollishofen (Switzerland) (Coat of Arms) Hoodie: Design Overview
This hoodie prominently displays the historic coat of arms of Wollishofen, a former municipality now part of Zürich, Switzerland. The design is a striking representation of Wollishofen's heritage, meticulously rendered to capture its heraldic details.
The Shield: A Divided Heritage
The central element is the shield, which is "per pale" – meaning it's divided vertically down the center. The right side (from the viewer's perspective) is a radiant gold field (heraldic "Or"), symbolizing wealth and nobility. The left side showcases a silver/white field (Argent), providing a clean backdrop for the key heraldic charge.
The Red Bars: A Mark of Distinction
Across the silver/white field, two horizontal red bars (Gules) are emblazoned. These bars add visual interest and represent a specific element of Wollishofen's history, likely associated with a particular family or significant period. The placement and number of these bars are crucial to the identity of the arms.
Historical Significance and Symbolic Representation
Originally, this coat of arms was a "Vogteiwappen," or bailiff's arms, dating back to 1493, a historical marker for the area's administration. Later, after Wollishofen was incorporated into Zürich, these arms became the official "quartierwappen," or district coat of arms, in 1926. The coat of arms visually connects its wearers to this past, and reflects Wollishofen's transformation and continued presence within Zürich.
