History[edit]
The Habsburgs ruled Vorarlberg's villages alternately from Tyrol and Vorderösterreich (Freiburg im Breisgau). From 1805 to 1814 Sibratsgfäll belonged to Bavaria, then reverted to Austria. Sibratsgfäll has belonged to the Austrian state of Vorarlberg since its founding in 1861. The village was part of the French occupation zone in Austria from 1945 to 1955.
Coat of arms[edit]
The coat of arms, inspired by a design by the Schruns artist and heraldist Konrad Honold, was created in 1969.
Culture[edit]
The Sibratsgfäll parish church is dedicated to the Archangel Michael and belongs to the deanery of Vorderwald-Kleinwalsertal. It was first mentioned, as a chapel, in a document from 1732. In 1805, a new church building was built, and later extended in 1845.
