Hüttlingen

Divided by blue with white striding lion and white-red chess.
The flag/coat of arms comes from the former community of Mettendorf which was merged into Hüttlingen in 1999. Mettendorf was once a fief of the Kyburgers and the Habsburg-Neukyburgers, later it belonged to Wellenberg and thus indirectly to the city of Zurich. The coat of arms shows the Habsburg lion striding over the chess of the Lords of Glattbrugg. The lion wears the colours of Zurich, the chess the colours of Reichenau.

On 1 January 1999 the communes of Eschikofen, Harenwilen, Mettendorf merged with Hüttlingen into the new commune of Hüttlingen.
