TRISTACH

State : Tirol
District : Lienz

Tristach.jpg

Origin/meaning :
The arms were officially granted on May 18, 1976.

The arms show a lying lion holding a scythe and are based on a stone decoration in the local church, which is probably of Roman origin. The arms thus symbolise the long history of the area.

Literature : Köfler and Beimrohr, 1995
