Origin/meaning

The oldest known seal of Vils dates from 1487 and already shows the bull's head. The head is derived from the nearly identical arms of the Lords of Hohenegg, to whom the city belonged for a long time. To distinguish the arms, the city used a wavy bar below the head until the 19^th century. Ever since the arms remained unchanged and are identical to the arms of the Lords of Hohenegg.
