History
=Coat-of-arms=
The emblem is party per fess: in the first part it's represented two embattled towers of gules, the second is checky of gules. It's the canting arms used in 1607 in the castle by the Bishops of Brixen and symbolize the German name of the municipality: towers (Thurn) over the fields (Feld). The emblem was granted in 1966.{{Cite web |url=http://www.ngw.nl/int/ita/f/feldthur.htm |title=Heraldry of the World: Feldthurns |access-date=2011-06-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120731174851/http://www.ngw.nl/int/ita/f/feldthur.htm |archive-date=2012-07-31 |url-status=dead }}
