Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on June 13, 1972.

The arms show a globe, which is taken as a symbol for Peter Anich. Anich was a famous globe-maker, both of the earth as the stars, hence the divided globe. He also made sundials and a large map of Tirol.

Literature : Köfler and Beimrohr, 1995
