Konrad Fischnaler
Konrad Fischnaler (born December 10, 1855 in Sterzing , South Tyrol , † February 14, 1941 in Innsbruck , Tyrol ) was an Austrian historian and local researcher, teacher and heraldist .
After attending grammar school and education in Innsbruck, he was a teacher in Bolzano . Then he worked from 1875 as a teacher at the practice school in Innsbruck. In the years 1885–1912 he was curator at the Tyrolean State Museum Ferdinandeum in Innsbruck. Health problems led to his retirement from 1912, but he still worked in the Tyrolean State Archives . In 1935 he became an honorary member of the University of Innsbruck .
His last major work was the " Tirolisch-Vorarlberg coat of arms key ". Here he tried in the period from 1938 to 1941 a coat of arms system with around 30,000 regionally limited coats of arms. The attempt to arrange coats of arms according to the heraldic images and common figures uses an idiosyncratic terminology and is difficult to understand as a work. Fischnaler's coat of arms collection is in the area of responsibility of the library of the Tiroler Landesmuseum Ferdinandeum in the form of a card index containing thousands of hand-drawn coats of arms images as e.g. Some of them contain colored sketches. The coat of arms key represents an evaluation of this card index.
A street in Innsbruck bears his name. The German-speaking middle school in Sterzing is named after him.
