Coat of arms

Blazon: On a yellow background, the black, gnawing on a brown piece of branch, seated beaver.

Like almost all towns in the Reiat also owned beavers before 1800 no own coat of arms. The first is found in 1814 on a seal of the localities beavers and Mayrhofen, who formed a political community at that time. The seal is an upstanding plowshares as a symbol for farming dar. With the separation of communities in 1860, beavers created a new label image with the beaver. Meanwhile, the gnawing beaver was pictured next to a body of water. Since this is not corresponded to the heraldry, coat of arms was adjusted, and the water removed.
