Gules, a Number 8 argent.
Željko Heimer, 1 November 2002
The figure 8 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).
