Schlatt-Haslen District is a district of the canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden in Switzerland. It was formally established in 1872 from the rhode Schlatt and the village Haslen.
Name
[edit]Slatte either refers to hollow or slope, to the local dialect word schlatt which means hitting. The name of the village Haslen goes back to Haslowe which means a pasture with hazelnut trees.
History
[edit]Schlatt is first mentioned in 1200 as Slatte. In the 13th century, Haslen was mentioned as Haslowe.[1]

Coat of arms
[edit]The blazon of the municipal coat of arms is Or a Halberd Argent handled of the first on a Bend Gules.[3]
The coat of arms shows a silver halberd with a golden handle. The halberd is placed on a red diagonal beam, itself placed on a golden background. It is not clear why this hitting weapon is included in the coat of arms, but the name of the village is thought to go back to the word hitting.
