SCHARNITZ
State : Tirol
District : Innsbruck-Land
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on April 4, 1967.
The arms show the large fortress 'Porta Claudia', which was built during the Thirty Years War near the village, as the valley locally was rather narrow and thus of strategic importance.
Literature : Köfler and Beimrohr, 1995
