Coat of arms

The first styling of the coat of arms is unknown because the documents were destroyed by a fire. The Roman- German king and later emperor Ferdinand I gave the princely market on January 19, 1552 a new coat of arms. Since Gnas was in the first half of the 16th century in the possession of the male line of the extinct race of the rich burgers and this resulted in a blue wolf in the shield, and the Gnasener coat of arms was designed. The blazon in the deed was " " ... a weyßen or silver colors Schillt darinn against the front upper Egg ain vorderthaill Aine Plawen Wolff gestallt on seinenm Kopff habent ain Yellow or Goldtfarbe Cron with offnem mouth, Rotter ausgeslagner estimates and its fürgeschossenen feet ...
