coat of arms

Blazon

In a white stylized green vine with three stylized blue grapes each, with a green leaf at the top, ending in a paw cross , flanked by a black paw cross on the top right and a white vine knife with a browed handle and yellow ferrule on the left.

The Trasadinger coat of arms is found for the first time in 1693. Except for the vine knife in the right (heraldic: left) upper corner, which was missing at the time, it is identical to the one used today. In the centuries to come, the vine changed to a fir tree . This is due to the imprecise work of the seal engravers during this time. During the adjustment in 1949, the original form was reverted to. The colors are natural for the vine, for shield and cross those of the Heiliggeistspital for which the cross stands, namely white-black.
