Rheinfelden Coat of Arms

Shield Or, a lion rampant Gules, holding a rose Gules with two leaves Vert by his left forepaw.
Meaning:
The tithing (German: Gemarkung) of Nollingen merged with parts of Karsau municipality in 1901 and with Warmbach municipality in 1921. The enlarged entity was named Rheinfelden in Baden in 1922. The appendix had been chosen in order to distinguish from the namesake Swiss municipality. The current pattern was adopted by the municipality's predecessor in 1911. It displayed the arms of the Lords of Nollingen. Its existence is proven by seal prints of the 13th and 14th century.
