Fricktal information


The linden leaf was used on the seal of the reeve of Fricktal in the 16th century.[1] In 1802, the linden leaf was used in the seal of the administration of the Canton of Fricktal. Schupfart used argent a linden leaf vert as municipal coat of arms from 1873. Since 1997, the same coat of arms is unofficially used to represent Fricktal.[2]

The Fricktal ("Frick Valley") is a region on Northwestern Switzerland, comprising the Laufenburg and Rheinfelden districts of the Swiss canton of Aargau. The region was known as Frickgau in the medieval period, ultimately from a Late Latin [regio] ferraricia, in reference to the iron mine located here in the Roman era, also transferred to the village of Frick as the main settlement.[3]

Frickgau was part of Breisgau within Further Austria in the early modern period. It was joined to Switzerland only during the Napoleonic period. It now forms a northwestern extension to the canton of Aargau to the east of Basel, between the High Rhine forming the border with Germany in the north and the Jura Mountains in the south.
