politics

coat of arms
Blazon : "In Green one sitting, aufbrüllender, silver (white) and reinforced rotbezungter golden (yellow) lion, which a silver (white) spear by which the tail raised curls, is in the back. A red drop of blood runs down from the spear wound. " | |
Justification of the coat of arms: The coat of arms reminds of an alleged lion hunt which took place in 1902 in the municipality. After successfully killing the animal, however, it was found that it was a Saint Bernard . The Derentaler were then mocked as lion hunters in the surrounding areas. However, they were not impressed by this and placed the hunted "lion" on the coat of arms and flag. |
flag
Hoisted flag: "The flag has green, yellow and red stripes with the coat of arms in the middle, shifted towards the leech." |
