Per bend sinister Gules and Argent a Cramp fesswise counterchanged.
Željko Heimer, 1 November 2002
On 1 January 2021 the new commune was formed through the merger of Welschenrohr and Gänsbrunnen.
The angled cramp 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).

The emblem is canting with the geese (German: Gans, plural: Gänse). Brunnen = fountain.
