Deutschnofen

Deutschnofen (German pronunciation: [ˌdɔʏtʃn̩ˈoːfn̩]; Italian: Nova Ponente [ˈnɔːva poˈnɛnte]) is a comune (municipality) in the province of South Tyrol in northern Italy, located about 30 kilometres (19 mi) southeast of the city of Bolzano.

Deutschnofen borders the following municipalities: Aldein, Bolzano, Bronzolo, Karneid, Laives, Welschnofen, and municipalities of Predazzo, Tesero and Varena in Trentino.

The municipality of Deutschnofen contains the frazioni (subdivisions, mainly villages and hamlets) Petersberg (Italian: Monte San Pietro), Eggen (Italian: San Nicolò d'Ega), Rauth (Novale) and Obereggen, a small tourist village located on the foot of the Latemar, with some 900 inhabitants.

The A22 motorway is located 15 kilometres (9 mi) from the village. Deutschnofen shares 7 km of the frontier with Trentino. The Brantental valley connects it with Laives.

The coat of arms is party per fess of argent and gules crossed, from edge to edge, from a knotty sable branch. The color argent symbolizes the deposits of dolomite and the gules ones those of porphyry; the branch represents the woodiness of the municipality. The emblem was adopted in 1969.

According to the 2024 census, 95.42% of the population speak German, 4.33% Italian and 0.25% Ladin as first language.
