	Vorarlberg, Austria
		Vorarlberg is the most westerly province of Austria, the second smallest in both area (after Vienna) and population (after Burgenland).
		It is bounded on the north (in the Bregenzer Wald) by Germany (Bavaria), on the west (along the Alpine Rhine) and south (Rätikon and Silvretta) by Switzerland, on the southwest by the Principality of Liechtenstein and on the east (Verwall group and Arlberg) by northern Tirol.
		Since Vorarlberg was spared the devastation suffered by the eastern provinces of Austria, the various architectural styles succeeded one another harmoniously, existing structures being retained and new ones added, so that many buildings both religious and secular show a steady development of styles from the Early Medieval period to modern times.

		The charge in the arms of Vorarlberg is a gonfalon, also sometimes called a gonfannon (it is not clear if these are considered heraldically different or not as a charge - there are nuances of difference in the history of the flag type).
		I note that the Vorarlberg device is described as "das Montfortische Banner", which I presume means that it is a banner version of Montfort arms.
		The apparent blazon for arms giving rise to the gonfannon illustrated on the Vorarlberg shield would be Gules a bar gemel sable, which is not ascribed to any of the Montforts by Rietstap.
