More information:

Inhabitants of Colmar are sometimes nicknamed ‘Kolbnarren’, which literally means ‘crazy about hammers’. This nickname is due to the legend that Hercules, during a stop in Colmar, lost his hammer after a boozy evening. Which would explain, according to certain people, the presence of a hammer on the town’s coat of arms.
