The Province of South Tyrol has the right, in the sense of the New Statute of Autonomy (Article 3), to keep its own coat of arms and its own flag. The coat of arms was approved in 1983, the flag gets the final approval by the Roman authorities not before the fall of the year 1996, and was approved by the South Tyrolean government (unanimous decision of 7th of October in 1996) on 21st of November in 1996 by decree of the President. In the middle of the flag is placed the coat of arms. The flag of Tyrol descents from the early 19. century and shows two stripes in white and red. It was introduced on 10th of March in 1949. The colours of the flag are derived from the colours of the coat of arms (red eagle on silvery ground). In the time of the monarchy, the country had – like all the other crown lands of the Austrian crown – its own colours (Landesfarben), which were used amongst others on horizontally two- or three-striped flags. The colours (Landesfarben) were very often taken from the respective coat of arms of the country or were supplemented by another colour, which not appears in the coat of arms, or they went back to older models of the coat of arms (e.g. Carniola). Officially, the colours had never been regulated or stipulated, so that their sequence varied in practice or even the colors deviated. The Austrian heraldist Hugo Gerard Ströhl (1851–1919) was probably the first to take care of it and asked for the colors (Landesfarben) on the flags at the respective state authorities around 1890 and compiled them. For Tyrol, white and red were ascertained as the country's colors of the crown land.

"The Tyrolean coat of arms shows a red eagle on a silver shield with a golden crown. The eagle looks to the heraldic right and is armed with golden claws and legs, golden bars in the wings ending in a shamrock and a green wreath, open on the top, behind its head."
Quote of Dr. Peter Diem on: Flags of the World
"The ancient coat of arms of Tyrol „red eagle on silvery (white) ground“ is handed down in colored depictions since 1271 resp. 1286. As the oldest reproduction counts the fresco in the chapel of Tyrol Castle in the times between 1271 and 1286.
A description – with details of the colours created about 1250 with the scutcheon-poem (Clipeus Teutonicorum) by the Canon Konrad on Mure – says: „Fert aquilam Tyrolis clipeus prestante rubore, que nigri pedis est alias albente colore“ (The white shield of Tyrol carrys an eagle of outsticking red colour and black feet). In difference was it since the 14th century usual to dye the catches and the arms of the eagle in gold. In the year 1416 the eagle got a crown and in 1567 a green wreath around its head."
Quote of: Mirko Costa, Bruneck, Südtirol
The Tyrolean eagle is used in various forms by different political bodies, such as the Austrian federal country of Tyrol, but also by the Autonomous Province of South Tyrol (Alto-Adige) and similarly in the Autonomous Province of Trento (Trentino, in German: Welschtirol). The two autonomous provinces of South Tyrol and Trento together form the Italian region of Trento-South Tyrol (Trentino-Alto-Adige).
In principle, the eagle is always the same, only inspired by historical models, as the coat of arms looked at specific times in a specific century, or an artist redesigned the coat of arms. In this way the today's coat of arms of the federal country of Tyrol was created in 1946. The eagle bears the crown awarded in 1416 and the coat of arms shows the green wreath, which was added in 1567. The green wreath was practically revived, because in the past times it was not shown. For South Tyrol, the template is the coat of arms of the Counts of Tyrol, executed like on the right wing outside of the altar of Castle Tyrol from 1370, with golden wing clips. It was redesigned in 1982 by the artist Helga von Aufschnaiter. In this form, the coat of arms was confirmed in 1983 by the Italian President. For Welschtirol (Province of Trento) the template is that coat of arms which Nikolaus Abrein, Prince-Bishop of Trento between 1338 and 1347, introduced in 1339. It is also an eagle, but black, with golden wing clips and shamrock ends, in a red flame wreath. Such an eagle model is called "Wenceslas Eagle", named after St. Wenceslas, a martyr and Bohemian prince from the ruling Přemyslid family from the first half of the 10th century.
