BREIL/BRIGELS
Canton : Graubünden
Additions : 2018 Andiast, Waltensburg/Vuorz
Official blazon
- (<2018) In Rot die silberne Muttergottes mit ausgebreiteten Armen auf einer Wolke sitzend.
- (2018) In Blau über drei silbernen Spitzen, die mittlere die beiden äusseren überdeckend und belegt mit schwarz gefugtem roten Zinnenturm, alles überhöht von gelber Sonne.
Origin/meaning
The arms were adopted in 2018.
The three white mountains refer to the Cavistrau Pign (3220 m), Cavistrau Grand (3252 m) and Piz Trumpiv (3101 m) in the municipality. The red tower refers to the Jörgenburg castle in Waltensburg. The sun refers to Andiast, the highest, and thus sunniest, of the three villages.
The previous arms:
The arms are derived from the older seal of the municipality and show the ascension of St. Mary, the local patron saint. Why this, rather unusual, composition was chosen is not known.
