History

=Coat-of-arms=

The village has two coat-of-arms regarding the two joined municipalities. The shield is azure with an or square, the sides curved and the corners decorated with shamrock. The four vertices represent the four original German-speaking municipalities of Non Valley: Laurein, Proveis, Unsere Liebe Frau im Walde and St. Felix. The first emblem represents a church, the second St. Felix with a palm in the left hand and a book in the right. The emblem was adopted in 1966.[http://www.ngw.nl/int/ita/p/proveis.htm Heraldry of the World: Unsere Liebe Frau im Walde - St. Felix]

Anthropologist Eric R. Wolf examined the history of St. Felix in depth in his 1974 study The Hidden Frontier.
