Province : Bolzano
Official blazon
- (de) In Silber ein rechtsschreitendes Krückenmännchen, das in der ausgestreckten Rechten einen Rosenkranz hält und hinter dem Rücken den gestümmelten Tiroler Adler aufweist.

Origin/meaning
The arms are historical, and have never been officially granted. The first time similar arms were used was in 1328, when King Henry, count of Tyrolia granted a seal with a similar image; the cripple is placed above the Tyrolian eagle. In 1524 the cripple was shown as a monk and placed in front of the eagle.
