HOCHFILZEN

State : Tirol
District : Kitzbühel

Official blazon

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on September 3, 1974.

The arms refer to St. Barbara, patron saint of soldiers and miners. Her symbols are in this case the sword and castle. The local chapel is devoted to St. Barbara, as the village historically is a mining area and there is also a more than 100 years old shooting range in the municipality.
