Rascher, von Rascher (also Rasch?r, Rach?r). Old Confederation family naturalized in Zuoz and Chur. Coat of arms: sections 1 and 4, a golden lion striding, holding a Harz-torch in the forward-limb, on a blue background; sections 2 and 3, a black eagle on a silver background. In 1580 the family became divided: the Catholic-line left for Vienna, the Reformed Protestant remained in Graub?nden.
