On 1 January 2013 Heinrichswil-Winistorf merged with Hersiwil and got the new name Drei Höfe as well as a new emblem. After 159 years of separation the three communes were again reunited, as they have been until 1854.
The new emblem adopted the red-white chevrons of Winistorf and the black pale of former emblems; the pale is covered now with the three symbols corn ear, ploughshare and fir tree, representing the former communes.
In 1962 the three communes erected a monument commemorating the soil amelioration which they achieved. It shows the heraldic symbols of the communes; with the reunification the monument got a new topicality (picture, source [retrieved]).
