Gars Market Town

Gars Banner

Traditionally Gars used a flag of white-red (possibly red-white); only recently (in 2001) the municipality decided to adopt a new flag providing more contrast, when used with the arms on it. The banner is green-white and bears the arms.

Gars Coat of Arms

Shield parted per pale of Argent and Gules, over all a serpent in bend Vert tongued Gules.
Meaning: Gars had the title of a market town since the 12th century. The tinctures are those of the Archbishopric of Salzburg, which owned the bailiwick over the village until 1802. The snake probably is a ring snake and is considered to be alluding to the Inn River and its meadows. Old seals are unknown. A seal from 1811 displays the snake in a golden field, recognisabkle by its Petra Sancta encoding.

The market-town Gars uses its historical arms, granted in 1567 by Johann Jakob Kuen of Belasy, Archbishop of Salzburg.
