coat of arms

Blazon : « In blue and yellow lowered rafters , above three yellow six-pointed stars next to each other, below a yellow six-pointed star. » The four stars stand for the four former communities of Feldis / Veulden , Scheid , Trans and Tumegl / Tomils . The star under the rafter stands for Tumegl / Tomils , which lies in the valley. The other three former municipalities are well above the valley floor. The rafter comes from the coat of arms of Trans . There are two stars in Scheid's coat of arms and one in that of Tumegl / Tomils . Thus the stars do not only have a pure counting function. The colors blue and yellow correspond to those from the previous coat of arms of Tumegl / Tomils .
