The coat of arms was awarded in 1994 by the Tyrolean state government. The black battlements stand for Schneeberg Castle, the red rafters for the Trins moraine on which the castle rises. The golden tip as well as the colors red and gold were taken from the coat of arms of the Säben monastery , which in the late Middle Ages owned Schneeberg as a sovereign fiefdom.
