The first document about Tiers dates back to 993/94–1005: in a tradition note of the diocese of Freising, the Bavarian Count Otto from the Rapoton family transferred, among other things, his property in "Tieres" to Bishop Gottschalk of Freising.[2]
The emblem is formed by a bend, helmet shaped, of argent and azure on gules background. It is the insignia of Lords of Velseck who ruled the village from 1200 until 1470 for the Bishops of Brixen. The emblem was granted in 1968.[3]
According to the 2011 census, 98.15% of the population speak German, 1.20% Italian and 0.65% Ladin as first language.[4]
