Gules an Angle Plate Sable.
Željko Heimer, 31 October 200

The angle in the emblem has a military background: According to a source from 1689, the Thal district communes were assigned to the Fourth and Fifth Company of the Second Regiment of Solothurn's militia army. The figure 4 at that time was written like an 8 open at the bottom; the figure 5 resembled an angle. The most emblems of the Thal district show either derivations of the figure 4 (Balsthal, Laupersdorf) or 5 (Aedermannsdorf, Herbetswil, Matzendorf, Welschenrohr).
