In heraldry, a compartment is a design placed under the shield, usually rocks, a grassy mount (mount vert), or some sort of other landscape upon which the supporters are depicted as standing. Care must be taken to distinguish true compartments from items upon which supporters are merely resting one or more feet, or, sometimes, mere heraldic badges or pure decoration under the shield, and, conversely, care must also be taken in very unusual cases such as the coat of arms of Belize, in which what may be taken to be a crest, the mahogany tree rising above the shield, is really part of the compartment. It is sometimes said to represent the land held by the bearer. As an official part of the blazon it is a comparatively late feature of heraldry, often derived from the need to have different supporters for different families or entities, although sometimes the compartment is treated in the blazon separately from the supporters.
The German blazon reads: Von schwarz und gold gespalten, rechts über einem gesenkten goldbesäumten blauen Wellenbalken zwei gekreuzte goldene Hämmer, belegt mit dem Zeichen des Planeten Uranus in Gold, links ein rotgefasster und -gedeckter silberner Kirchturm mit gotischem Maßwerkfenster und romanischen Schallöffnungen in schwarz.German blazon The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per pale sable in chief a Uranus symbol surmounting a hammer and pick per saltire, the whole Or and in base a fess wavy of the second surmounted by a narrower one azure, and Or a churchtower argent with quoins, roof, Gothic tracery windowframes and Romanesque sound holes gules, the window glass of the first.

Most heraldic authors do not capitalize the names of the various tinctures, although a few do (sometimes inconsistently), and some who do not capitalize the other tinctures recommend capitalizing "or" in order to avoid confusion with the conjunction. However, there are relatively few occasions in which the conjunction "or" would appear in the blazon of a coat of arms; and if properly worded, which meaning is intended should be readily apparent from the context.; ; ; ; ; Another convention has been to capitalize only the first word or the first tincture appearing in the blazon, but no other words. In the elaborate calligraphy appearing on most grants of arms, all of the tinctures are capitalized, as indeed are the names of the charges; but this is purely a matter of decorative style, and in no way does the manner of capitalization used in the original grant affect how the arms may be described on other occasions.

The countercompony (that is, with two chequered rows) “half-chief” – something never seen in English heraldry – on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side recalls the village's former allegiance to the “Further” County of Sponheim, which bore arms “chequy” (that is, with the escutcheon’s whole field chequered) in these two tinctures (blue and gold). The fountain is a canting charge for the village’s name ending, —born, which means “fountain” (although, as can be seen in the German blazon, the usual German word is Brunnen; Schalenbrunnen means “basin fountain”).

To "blazon" arms means to describe them using the formal language of heraldry. This language has its own vocabulary and syntax, or rules governing word order, which becomes essential for comprehension when blazoning a complex coat of arms. The verb comes from the Middle English blasoun, itself a derivative of the French blason meaning "shield". The system of blazoning arms used in English-speaking countries today was developed by heraldic officers in the Middle Ages.
The word argent had the same meaning in Old French blazon, whence it passed into the English language. In some historical depictions of coats of arms, a kind of silver leaf was applied to those parts of the device that were argent.

As a result, it can sometimes be difficult to distinguish regions that were intended as "argent" from those that were "sable".

Human heads are often described in much greater detail, though some of these are identified by name with little or no further description.
The term segreant is usually applied to the griffin, but this approximation of rampant which is more appropriate for them has also been applied to the dragon. Additionally, there are positions applying to direction, to indicate variations from the presumed position of any charge. Animals and animal-like creatures are presumed to be shown in profile, facing dexter (the viewer's left), and humans and human-like beings are presumed to be shown affronté (facing the viewer), unless otherwise specified in the blazon.

It was originally the head (detached or undetached in various theories) of a blindfolded prisoner and represented the clearing of the Moors from the Iberian Peninsula. It became relevant to Corsica in the 14th century Kingdom of Sardinia and Corsica sponsored by Aragon, although its use by any Corsican chiefs is debatable.

With very rare exceptions, diapering is not a part of the blazon, but is mere decoration, or ornamental accessory. Thus a shield with diapering is considered the same as a shield of the same design but without diapering. For this reason diapering must not be so obtrusive or so heavily drawn that it could be mistaken for a substantive charge or for a variation of the field. This is especially the case with diaper of simple cross-hatching which might be mistaken for a field of lozengy.

It is also the case of some animals native of Europe (via Anglo-Norman: eagle, buzzard, falcon, squirrel, coney, rabbit, leveret, lizard, marten, ferret, salmon, viper).

In late 1948/early 1949 a further series of X rays was made at the National Gallery of Art by Stephen S. Pichetto.
The reasons for the inclusion of a blackamoor head vary. The Moor's head on the crest that appears on the arms of Lord Kirkcudbright, and in consequence the modern crest badge used by Clan MacLellan is supposed to derive from the killing of a moorish bandit known as Black Morrow. The blazon is a naked arm supporting on the point of a sword, a moor's head. Other examples appear to depict captives; the flag of Sardinia and the neighboring Corsica depict decapitated Maures' heads with blindfolds.

Complex rules, such as the rule of tincture, apply to the physical and artistic form of newly created arms, and a thorough understanding of these rules is essential to the art of heraldry. Though heraldic forms initially were broadly similar across Europe, several national styles had developed by the end of the Middle Ages, and artistic and blazoning styles today range from the very simple to extraordinarily complex.

Hardt's coat of arms depicts, in green, a field with two fir trees upon a field of white. Between the trees is a smaller blazon with a stag upon a trimount, both in yellow, upon a field of blue. This pattern was devised in 1953 from a Schultheißs seal that featured the firs, but was distinguished from similar coats of arms by the addition of the arms of the House of Falkenstein. The arms of the 17th century Falkenstein zu Rimsingen line are erroneously used on Hardt's coat of arms.
The Simmersfeld municipal coat of arms displays a wood grouse, in yellow, upon a yellow branch above a crossed sword and axe, also yellow, upon a field of red.

The symbology upon the blazon was deemed applicable to the whole municipality once it was formed in 1975 and was retained.

While the historical lyrics were very superficial at first, the lyrics for later albums were intensively researched, by Rolf Kasparek in particular. After this album, from 1988 to 1992 (for the albums Port Royal, Death or Glory, Blazon Stone and Pile of Skulls), Running Wild mainly wrote historically based lyrics. In addition to lyrics about pirates like Calico Jack, Klaus Störtebeker, or the little- known Henry Jennings, the band also addressed subjects like the Wars of the Roses, the Battle of Waterloo, or the colonization of the New World by the Conquistadors.
A field fretty is composed of bendlets and bendlets-sinister or "scarps", interleaved over one another to give the impression of a trellis. Although almost invariably the bendlets and scarpes are of the same tincture, there is an example in which they are of two different metals. It is rare for the number of pieces of the fretty to be specified, though this is sometimes done in French blazon. The bendlets and bendlets sinister are very rarely anything other than straight, as in the arms of David Robert Wooten, in which they are raguly.
The chairman of the Castle in the Community John Coulthard described the castle, Sunderland's second oldest building, as "an asset in the city – it is a lovely setting and we would love to see it bring in some income". There have been four organised International Reunion(s) of Hylton Families over the past few years; most notably on 4 July 2004, when around fifty American descendants of the Hylton family visited the castle to present a flag featuring the Hylton blazon. The flag now flies from the recently installed flagpole, provided by English Heritage.

Venetian blazon with the Lion of Saint Mark, as frequently found on the New Fortress walls The origins of the Corfiot Italian community can be found in the expansion of the Italian States toward the Balkans during and after the Crusades. In the 12th century, the Kingdom of Naples sent some Italian families to Corfu to rule the island. From the Fourth Crusade of 1204 onwards, the Republic of Venice sent many Italian families to Corfu. These families brought the Italian language of the Middle Ages to the island.

Nobility was abolished in Iceland in 1660, and no one in Iceland today has any rightful claim to an ancient family coat of arms. Armigerous Icelanders included recipients of the Grand Cross of the Dannebrog and others eligible for this award. Under the modern republic, there is no regulatory body for the registration of arms, and heraldic designs can only be registered as a logo, not as an actual coat of arms. This means one particular graphic version is registered, while stylistically different designs conforming to the same blazon may be unprotected.
Municipal council, on 28 January 1966, gave the architect Palm from Bad Kreuznach the task of designing a municipal coat of arms. At a council meeting on 16 May 1966, council adopted the design that had been put forth. After consent by the state archive, the Ministry of the Interior in Mainz granted approval for Heinzenberg to bear its own arms on 29 June 1966.Statistische Mappen, VG Kirn-Land, 2009Description and explanation of Heinzenberg’s arms The German blazon does not mention that the lion faces sinister (heraldic left).

The arms were taken from those borne by the now no longer existing Verbandsgemeinde of Binsfeld.

The German blazon reads: '''' The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per pale azure issuant from the line of partition an eagle displayed argent armed and langued gules, and argent a bunch of grapes slipped proper reversed. The village’s oldest known seal from the 16th century bears the eagle as a charge, the device also borne by the Counts of Leiningen, who held the local lordship. Late in that same century, the grapes were added to stand for winegrowing. Some later seals, however, showed another plant with three leaves.
The purpose of an ordinary is to facilitate the identification of the bearer of a coat of arms from visual evidence alone. Ordinaries may take a form which is either graphic (consisting of a series of painted or drawn images of shields) or textual (consisting of blazons – verbal descriptions – of the coats). Most medieval and early modern manuscript ordinaries were graphic, whereas all the principal modern published ordinaries have been textual. A knowledge of the technicalities of blazon is essential for the student hoping to make best use of a textual ordinary.

For example, the University of Texas at Austin has registeredUS Trademark Serial No. 73321841 its emblem and coat of arms for use in its capacity as an institution of higher education. Moreover, such protection presumes a specific graphic design or work of art, while blazon is a description which may be widely interpreted artistically. A specific coat of arms could be protected by copyright as a pictorial, graphic or sculptural work. The usual requirements of originality and artistic creativity would need to be met; neither notice nor registration is required but may be advisable.
The community’s arms might be described thus: A bend wavy argent, above gules an oak twig with three acorns and two leaves Or, below azure three ears of grain on one stem of the last.„Das Wappen der Gemeinde Ringgau führt im durch einen silbernen schrägrechten Wellenbalken geteilten Schild oben in Rot einen goldenen Eichenbruch mit drei Eicheln und zwei Blättern, unten in Blau drei goldene Ähren auf einem Halm.“ Hessischer Staatsanzeiger Nr. 23/1977 S. 1147 auf heimatverein-datterode.de The German blazon does not mention what kind of grain the latter charge represents.
In the 15th century, the Electorate of the Palatinate acquired the chapel court and ousted the Worms Cathedral Foundation. This action is reflected in the then court seal (and in the current coat of arms), with the blazon reading in part “the Palatine lion holds in the right paw the robbed Worms key”. In 1792, the Worms Cathedral Foundation’s ecclesiastical landlordship ended, and along with that, so did the tithes payable to Worms. Such joy was brought by this that the elm at Selzen’s southeast corner was felled and the community had a bonfire.
Because heraldry developed at a time when English clerks wrote in Anglo-Norman French, many terms in English heraldry are of French origin. Some of the details of the syntax of blazon also follow French practice: thus, adjectives are normally placed after nouns rather than before. A number of heraldic adjectives may be given in either a French or an anglicised form: for example, a cross pattée or a cross patty; a cross fitchée or a cross fitchy. In modern English blazons, the anglicised form tends to be preferred.
The lion passant was the heraldic blazon of Baibars from 1260. As the first Sultan of the Bahri Mamluk dynasty, Baibars made the meritocratic ascent up the ranks of Mamluk society.

Rovio is a municipality in the district of Lugano in the canton of Ticino in Switzerland. Traditionally Rovio has been an agricultural community, raising livestock and growing vines, but today many of its houses are occupied by commuters, largely travelling into the city of Lugano.

The symbol was designed in collaboration with Inuit elders, leaders, artists, groups, and the general population of the territory. Each symbol was chosen individually from the 800 submissions for the flag and coat of arms that were received. Five draft designs were created in collaboration between the heraldic artist at the Canadian Heraldic Authority and Andrew Qappik, an Inuit artist from Pangnirtung. The shield, which according to the blazon should be presented on a roundel shaped shield rather than the escutcheon shape traditional in European heraldry, is blue and gold, symbolizing the riches of the land.
The German blazon reads: '''' The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Sable issuant from base and dexter crags Or and to sinister a lion rampant of the same armed, langued and crowned gules, on a chief argent a fess wavy azure. Oberstaufenbach's arms bear the same charges in the same composition as Niederstaufenbach's. The only heraldic difference lies in the tinctures. Those in the main field are the ones formerly borne by the Duchy of Palatinate-Zweibrücken in its arms, while the tinctures on the chief are the ones formerly borne by the Counts of Veldenz in their arms.
Greek heraldry, though not as developed as in other countries, has an interesting history by drawing upon its Byzantine heritage and influences from the various western powers that have occupied Greek lands. Heraldry is therefore seen as a foreign concept, and is widespread mostly in the Ionian and Aegean Islands (former Venetian and Genoese possessions) and among the families of Phanariot origin Ancient Greeks were among the first civilizations to use symbols consistently in order to identify a warrior, clan or a state. In Aeschylus’ tragedy Seven Against Thebes there is the first record of a shield blazon.

Once the new, greater town of Boppard had been founded, the town's old arms lost their validity. Only in 1985 could the town council reach an agreement on new arms.
The Groves Classification is a numbering system to enable the shape of any academic gown or hood to be easily described and identified. It was devised by Nicholas Groves to establish a common terminology for hoods and gowns to remedy the situation of individual universities using differing terms to describe the same item. As such it is used in same manner as an heraldic blazon whereby a textual description enables a coat of arms to be drawn. The system was first described in the Burgon Society's annual in 2001 and adopted as standard by robe makers and scholars of academic dress..
Cire Trudon still keep records of recipe and tools of wax whitening: wrought iron, 17th century pans. The moulds used to form candles bearing the royal blazons still remain: "cierge pascal pour la Chapelle du Roy à Versailles, Bougies de nuit pour le Roy..." ("Easter candle church for the Royal Chapel in Versailles, night candle for the King...") Cire Trudon supplied the Versailles castle until the end of the monarchy. During his captivity, Louis XVI used the candles of his royal wax manufacturer. The blazon and the motto would be hidden under a layer of mortar to avoid the furies of the Revolution.
The German blazon reads: In Grün ein aufgerichteter, wachsender, goldener Krummstab, belegt mit einem silbernen Schräglinkswellenbalken. The town's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Vert issuant from base a bishop's staff Or surmounted by a bend sinister wavy argent. The main charge in these arms, the bishop's staff, is a reference to the village's former allegiance to the Archbishopric of Reims, which held Kusel and the countryside all around it, the so-called Remigiusland, up until the 16th century. The “bend sinister wavy” (slanted wavy stripe) stands for the Kuselbach, the brook that flows through town.

The coat of arms was approved at the 19th of April 1984 by the government of Upper Palatinate. The community of Arnschwang is located at the Chamb (wave beams) in the bassin of Furth and has a very old St. Martin´s church. In the center of the coat of arms, therefore, the patron St. Martin was put.

The lettering is the abbreviation of the command.
This example is the first stanza from Spenser's Faerie Queene. The formatting, wherein all lines but the first and last are indented, is the same as in contemporary printed editions. > Lo I the man, whose Muse whilome did maske, As time her taught, in lowly > Shepheards weeds, Am now enforst a far unfitter taske, For trumpets sterne > to chaunge mine Oaten reeds, And sing of Knights and Ladies gentle deeds; > Whose prayses having slept in silence long, Me, all too meane, the sacred > Muse areeds To blazon broad emongst her learned throng: Fierce warres and > faithfull loues shall moralize my song.

The German blazon reads: '''' The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per pale sable two Ws in pale Or and argent a lion rampant azure armed and langued gules. The two Ws on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side are an abbreviation of the municipality's name, Welchweiler. This charge appeared on a village seal as early as 1742. The lion on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side is drawn from the arms formerly borne by the Duchy of Palatinate-Zweibrücken; it is the heraldic device of the House of Wittelsbach, which ruled Bavaria until 1918.
The German blazon reads: '. The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per fess abased sable a lion rampant Or armed, langued and crowned gules and argent an escallop’s edge, open to chief, issuant from which fire proper.

The shell is said to be a canting charge for the village’s name (see Municipality’s name above).
The German blazon reads: In Silber auf grünem Grund eine von goldenen Ständern gestützte, grüne Linde. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Argent on ground vert a limetree of the same underpinned by posts Or.Körborn’s coat of arms The composition is drawn from an old seal from 1741.

The German blazon reads: In Blau ein silberner Schrägwellenbalken, begleitet oben von einem sechsstrahligen Stern, unten von einer goldenen Rose. The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Azure a bend wavy argent between a rose foiled of six and a mullet Or. The now merged municipality’s coat of arms is actually the one formerly borne by Offenbach alone before the amalgamation. Hundheim then bore no arms. The bend (slanted stripe) and the two other charges, the rose and the mullet (six-pointed star shape), were the elements that already appeared on an Offenbach court seal in the 16th century.
The national flag of Burkina Faso () is formed by two equal horizontal bands of red (top) and green, with a yellow five-pointed star resting in the center. In Blazon: Per fess gules and vert, a mullet of five points Or. The flag was adopted on 4 August 1984.

The German blazon reads: '''' The town's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per fess sable a lion passant Or armed, langued and crowned gules, and vert three lambs argent passant. The arms were granted on 21 December 1887 by Bavarian Prince Regent Luitpold and go back to a seal from 1707, although compositions involving the same charges go back to 1583. Several versions are known from the intervening time. One also showed the lion holding a book in his paws to symbolize the University of Heidelberg, which was the local landlord after 1553.
Blazon: Barry wavy of ten Argent and Azure, a Caduceus from the head of which issue three forks of lightning pointing to the dexter, centre and sinister chief respectively, Or, between two alder leaves conjoined on one stem Gules. Significance: The Caduceus is the attribute of Hermes of Greek mythology, who was the messenger or herald of the gods. It is used here as a symbol of one who carries, sends or receives messages. The fact that these particular messages are transmitted by means of radio is indicated by the three flashes of lightning that shoot out from the head of the Caduceus.
The coat of arms of the Barons Haden-Guest, based on the blazon in Burke's Peerage - Peerage 200918 Baron Haden-Guest, of Saling in the County of Essex, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.

Konrad of Schleiden, builder of Castle Neuenstein, bore arms charged with golden glaives (a mediaeval pole weapon). The five “plates” (silver roundels, or in this case balls or orbs, as the German blazon has it) are taken from a seal used by a Johann von Neuenstein. The golden mount symbolizes the Goldberg, a mountain in the municipality whose name has the same meaning as the municipality's Latin- derived name, and the charge is therefore also canting. The dragon's head and the Latin cross are Saint Margaret's attributes, thus representing the municipality's and the church's patron saint.
The German blazon reads: Unter silbernem Schildhaupt mit schwarzem Balkenkreuz in Blau ein Kranz goldener Rosen mit silbernen Butzen. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Azure a chaplet of eight roses Or seeded argent, in a chief of the third a cross sable. Until the conquest in the French Revolutionary Wars, Reimerath belonged to the Electorate of Cologne, which bore the black cross on a silver field seen in the chief of the municipality's arms.

Beginning in 1565, Niederstadtfeld belonged to the Counts of Manderscheid and was until 1794 in the Electoral-Trier Amt of Manderscheid. The red fess dancetty (that is, horizontal zigzag stripe) was the charge borne in those lords’ arms.
The German blazon reads: In Silber ein roter Schrägrechtsbalken, belegt mit einer goldenen Zickzackleiste; oben ein schwarzes Antoniuskreuz, unten drei blaue Wellenleisten. The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Argent a bend gules surmounted by a bendlet dancetty Or, in sinister a cross tau sable and in dexter three bars wavy azure. The bend (diagonal stripe) overlaid with the thinner zigzag stripe (“bendlet dancetty”) was inspired by the arms once borne by the Counts of Manderscheid, once and long Bleckhausen’s lords. The T-shaped cross is Saint Anthony’s cross, and thus a reference to the local patron saint.
The German blazon reads: Durch schwarze, oben gezinnte Leiste geteilt, oben in Silber drei rote Kronen balkenweise, unten in Gold eine rote Glocke. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: A bar embattled enhanced sable, above which argent three crowns in fess gules, and below which Or a bell of the third.

The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Or a stag's attires sable fixed to the scalp argent, surmounting the attires in fesse enhanced, a label of five points gules. Until the French Revolution (1794), Feusdorf belonged to the Lordship of Jünkerath in the County of Blankenheim. The label – the strip with the tags pointing down – recalls this time, as it was a charge in the arms borne by the Counts and shown surmounting a lion rampant (see Esch's coat of arms).
The German blazon reads: In Silber durch schräglinke, blaue Wellenleiste geteilt; oben ein rotes Balkenkreuz, unten ein roter Schild belegt mit 9 (3 : 3 : 3) goldenen Kugeln. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Argent a bend sinister wavy azure between a cross gules and an inescutcheon of the same charged with nine bezants, three, three and three. The wavy bend sinister refers to the municipality's namesake brook, the Schönbach. The red cross refers to Schönbach's former allegiance to the Electorate of Trier as part of the Amt of Daun from 1357.
The German blazon reads: Von gold und rot durch gesenkten, schräglinken, blauen Wellenbalken und silberen Wellenleistenstab geteilt, der Wellenbalken mit sieben vierendigen goldenen Sternen belegt. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: A bend sinister wavy abased azure charged with seven mullets of four Or and conjoined by a bendlet sinister wavy argent, the whole between Or and gules. The Stadtkyll Castle was most likely built by the Lords of Blankenheim. In 1469, the County of Blankenheim, and thereby also Stadtkyll, found itself in the ownership of the Counts of Manderscheid, whose armorial tinctures.
The German blazon reads: '''' The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: A bend sinister wavy azure between argent a bear rampant sinister sable armed and langued gules and chequy of twenty Or and azure. The bend sinister wavy (slanted wavy stripe) refers to the village’s namesake stream, the Bärenbach. The bear is a canting charge, referring to the municipality’s name (Bär is German for “bear”, and Bären is the form it takes in the oblique cases). The “chequy” part of the arms is from the coat of arms formerly borne by the Counts of Sponheim.
The German blazon reads: '''' The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per fess argent a demilion azure armed and langued gules and argent a tree eradicated proper. The charge on the upper field of the escutcheon, the demilion ("half" lion, cut off at the waist) is a reference to the village's former allegiance to the County of Veldenz. The charge on the lower field, the uprooted tree, is modelled on an old Schultheiß seal. The arms have been borne since 1962 when they were approved by the Rhineland-Palatinate Ministry of the Interior.
The German blazon reads: Über erhöhtem Schildfuß, darin eine rote Bogenbrücke auf Silber, von Schwarz und Gold gespalten, darin ein Rehbock in verwechselter Tinktur. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per pale sable and Or a roebuck at gaze counterchanged upon a bridge arched of three gules masoned sable spanning water argent. The roebuck (Rehbock in German) is a canting charge for the municipality's name. The bridge is the one spanning the river Glan (the water in base), and symbolizes the link between the two formerly separate villages of Reichartsweiler and Rehweiler.
A shield azure hangs on the sinister shoulder of the knight with a double cross/two-barred cross or (gold) on it. The horse saddle, straps, and belts are azure. The hilt of the sword and the fastening of the sheath, the stirrups, the curb bits of the bridle, the horseshoes, as well as the decoration of the harness, are or (gold). The blazon is the following: Gules, a knight armed cap-à-pie mounted on a horse salient argent, brandishing a sword proper and maintaining a shield azure charged with a cross of Lorraine Or.
The German blazon reads: Über einem von Gold und Blau mit drei Bogen geteilten Schildfuß in blaugoldenem Schach ein roter Pfahl, belegt mit einem schwarzen Raben. The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: The base per fess invected of three Or and azure, above which chequy of twenty-four of the same a pale gules charged with a raven sable. The “chequy” pattern and the raven charge are drawn from the arms formerly borne by the Knights of Koppenstein. Gehlweiler belonged to the Sponheim Amt of Koppenstein, which for a while was pledged to the Knights.
The blazon of the coat of arms (paraphrased) is azure, bar wavy gemel or, crossed Fleur-de-lys staves gules, on azure a crescent moon with face or to dexter. The coat of arms unites motifs from the coat of arms of the two original villages and at the same time symbolizes the location and name of the community. The red lily staffs are from the coat of arms of Eichtersheim and acknowledge the Barons of Venningen. The halfmoon with the face comes from the Michelfeld coat of arms which is a nod to the Knights of Gemmingen.
The German blazon reads: In dem von fünf Zinnen geteilten Schild oben heraldisch rechts in Silber ein schräglinkes grünes Eichenblatt, daneben heraldisch links ein schwarzer Rost. Unten drei schräg rechts aneinander gereihte rautenförmige silberne Schnallen. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per fess embattled of five argent dexter an oakleaf bendwise vert and sinister a gridiron, the handle palewise to base, sable, and gules three arming buckles flory conjoined in bend, the tongues to dexter chief, of the first. Above the “embattled” (that is, shaped like battlements on a castle wall) line of partition are two charges.
The German blazon reads: Von Silber und Blau gespalten; vorne ein durchgehendes schwarzes Kreuz, hinten eine silberne Waage, darüber zwei Kirchen. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per pale argent a cross sable and azure balances below two churches all of the first. The black cross on the silver field on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side refers to the Imperially immediate Benedictine Fulda Abbey, to which the nobleman Eggiolt bequeathed his woodlands in Biebern in 754. The two churches on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side refer to the two in the municipality.
The German blazon reads: Über Blau-Gold geschachteltem Schildfuß in Silber eine schwarze Kapelle. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: A base countercompony azure and Or above which argent a chapel sable. The base “countercompony” (that is, with two chequered rows) is inspired by the “chequy” arms borne by the Counts of Sponheim and refers to the village's former allegiance to the “Further” County of Sponheim. The main charge in these arms, the chapel, is canting for the municipality's name: “chapel” is Kapelle in German, pronounced somewhat differently from the name Kappel, but still similar.
The German blazon reads: Der Schild ist von links oben nach rechts unten geteilt. In der rechten oberen Hälfte oben in Silber ein roter Drache, in der linken unteren Hälfte 9 mal in Silber und Blau quer geteiltes Feld. The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per bend sinister, argent a dragon rampant sans forelegs wings displayed gules, and barry of ten argent and azure. The numbers referring to the sinister (armsbearer’s left, viewer’s right) side ("9" and "ten") do not match because English heraldry counts the number of bars, whereas German heraldry counts the number of divisions.
The arms of the Duke of Manchester have the following blazon: Quarterly, 1st & 4th: Argent, 3 fusils conjoined in fess gules (Montagu); 2nd & 3rd: Or an eagle displayed vert beaked and membered gules (Monthermer).Debrett's Peerage, 1968, Montagu of Beaulieu (original form of), p.788 The fusils or diamond shapes in the Montagu arms were originally intended to represent a range of mountains, as the name comes from the old French mont agu meaning "pointed hill". The arms represent a claim to be a cadet of the medieval Montagu (Montacute) family, earls of Salisbury, for which there is no proof (see above origins).
The College of Arms granted the school a coat of arms in 1949, the full blazon being: The motto, Lauda finem, is Latin for "praise [to] the end". The arms incorporate those of the founder: the arms of the Mellers family were three blackbirds (or merles – an example of canting arms) – on a white field; Dame Agnes, being a woman, would have displayed them on a lozenge, not a shield. In 2007 the school unofficially introduced a new logo for more general use, a modified version of the shield that omits the lozenge and ermine field.
Altheim's coat of arms displays three plates upon a field of blue. At the top of the blazon is a white chief and upon that a blue, engrailed and invected line. This coat of arms was first adopted by the municipal council of Altheim on 3 March 1937 with permission from its owner, Baron Conrad von Freyberg, head of a local noble house that had lived in the area since 1528. A request to for approval of official use of this coat of arms was sent to the Reichsstatthalter of Württemberg, though approval did not materialize.
Alternately, descriptions such as "gold" and "silver" might be substituted for "or" and "argent" on a subsequent occurrence. Another rule of blazon relating to tinctures suggests the placing of a comma after each occurrence of a tincture. In recent years, the College of Arms has regularly dispensed with many of these practices, believing them to cause confusion; and in new grants of arms, the names of tinctures are repeated on each instance that they occur. The names of all tinctures and charges are capitalized, although the word "proper", indicating the colour of nature, is not; and internal commas are entirely omitted.
The German blazon reads: In Rot ein schwebendes angetatztes goldenes Kreuz, oben links und unten rechts bewinkelt von je einem sechsstrahligen silbernen Stern. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Gules a cross pattée humetty Or between two mullets argent, one each in sinister chief and dexter base. The arms were approved in 1927 by the Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior and go back to the arms borne by Deidesheim, from which Niederkirchen originally split. To distinguish the two coats, the tinctures and the arrangement of the mullets (star shapes) were altered.
The badge is in the shape of a closed book, behind which a quill pen is placed vertically; diagonally across the book are the letters ABA. The pledge button is in the shape of a shield and is crossed by a diagonal line. The blazon of the official coat of arms is as follows: arms-purpure, on a bend argent, three Greek letters ABA, of the first between; in chief, a white rose- leaved vert; and in base, the reproduction of the ABA key. Crest-on a wreath of the colors, a candle holder argent holding a candle purpure, flamed and resplendent or.
The German blazon reads: In Schwarz über einer silbernen Gewandschließe ein goldener erniedrigter Sparren, begleitet oben rechts und links von je einem silbernen fünfstrahligen Stern. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Sable a chevron Or, in chief two mullets of five in fess argent and in base an arming buckle of the same. The gold chevron stands for the merger of the municipalities of Nannhausen and Nickweiler, and the two mullets (star shapes) stand for the Ortsteile. The buckle stands for the baronial family Schmidtburg, whose arms bore such a buckle as the main charge.
As of the 15th century, the village was administered by Electoral Palatinate, the Duchy of Palatinate-Simmern and the Margraviate of Baden. The red and gold in the main field come from the arms formerly borne by the Margraviate of Baden, which held Maitzborn from 1708 to 1794. The fountain on the dexter (armsbearer’s right, viewer’s left) side stands for the ones formerly found on the Badish estate, and which can also be taken as a canting charge for the village’s name ending, —born, which means “fountain” (although, as can be seen in the German blazon, the usual German word is Brunnen).
The coat of arms of Döttesfeld Blazon features a curly blue spike with four 1:2:1 set silver edge cubes, a front of silver and red, and a blue peacock facing to the left. The back of the coat of arms features a silver and green Linden tree. The peacock on the sloping pitch is taken from the coat of arms of the counts of Wied who owned Döttesfeld until 1806, while red and silver are the primary colors of Isenburg-Grenzau, where Döttesfeld was originally located. Court Linden points to the former center of the district of Panday.
Blazon of Pitt Meadows, BC The announcement of the Letters Patent for Pitt Meadows, and Grant of Arms, Supporters, Flag and Badge was made on March 12, 2005, in Volume 139, page 688 of the Canada Gazette. The Arms consist of the colours purple and gold, its heron emblem and a band running parallel to the edge of the shield which represents the dykes which protect the lands of the municipality. The crenellated outer edge represents gearwheels and refer to the historic Hoffman garage. The horizontal bands symbolize the CP railway line around which the District grew.
100px Description/Blazon: Centered on a red rectangular device arched at the top and bottom and edged with a 1/8 inch (.32 cm) yellow border, the overall dimensions 2 inches (5.08 cm) in width and 3 inches (7.62 cm) in height, a black disc within a yellow ring surmounted above and below by two yellow pheons with white shafts, the topmost pointed to upper right, the lower one pointed to lower left. Symbolism: Scarlet and yellow are the colors associated with Field Artillery. The cannonball or black disc centered on the yellow one connotes accuracy of fire.
100px Description/Blazon: A gold color metal and enamel device 1 3/16 inches (3.02 cm) in width overall consisting of two gold ramrods in saltire between three black gunstones and red flames in front of a vertical gold cannon barrel, all above a gold scroll bearing the inscription "ON TIME ON TARGET" in black letters. Symbolism: Scarlet is the color used for Field Artillery. The cannon and ramrods symbolize the basic mission of Field Artillery. The three gunstones and flames allude to the organization's three battle honors earned during World War I and World War II in Lorraine, Rhineland and Central Europe.
Morgan was born in London in 1620, was brought up to and practiced the profession of an arms-painter. In 1642, he wrote 'A Treatise of Honor and Honorable Men,' which remained in manuscript (see Brydges's Censura Literaria, viii. 236). In 1648, he printed a poem entitled 'London, King Charles his Augusta, or City Royal of the Founders;' and in 1652 'Horologiographia Optica, Dialling universal and particular.' In 1661, he published a work on heraldry, entitled The Sphere of Gentry, deduced from the Principles of Nature: an Historical and Genealogical Work of Arms and Blazon, in Four Books.
The German blazon reads: The town's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per fess, in chief per pale argent a cross gules and sable a lion rampant Or armed, langued and crowned of the second, and in base gules three winged petasuses of the fourth. Fifteen years after its modern founding, Emmelshausen was granted a coat of arms. It symbolizes the merger of the two centres of Basselscheid and Liesenfeld into the much newer railway centre of Emmelshausen. The two fields in the upper part of the escutcheon each refer to one of the older centres.
The German blazon reads: In Schwarz ein wachsender goldener, rotgezungter und -bewehrter ¾ Löwe. The town's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Sable, issuant from base a lion rampant Or armed and langued gules. Rheinböllen was the main centre in the so-called "Old Court" (Altes Gericht), the old Comital-Palatine holding on the Hunsrück. The lion "issuant from base" (a lion rampant is usually centred in the field with his whole body showing) is a "diminutive" of the Palatine Lion first borne by the House of Wittelsbach after they were enfeoffed with the County Palatine of the Rhine in 1214.
The German blazon reads: In Rot ein blauer Wellenbalken, belegt mit einem silbernen, goldgehörnten Rehbock. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Gules a fess wavy azure surmounted by a roebuck springing argent attired Or. Rehbach bears canting arms, meaning that the charges in the arms suggest the village's name. The animal charge is a roebuck, or Rehbock in German, while Reh is the word for “roe deer”, and the wavy blue fess (horizontal stripe) symbolizes a brook, or Bach in German. Thus Reh + Bach makes the arms a rebus for the name “Rehbach”.
The German blazon reads: Unter rot-silbern geschachteltem Schildhaupt in grün die Darstellung der goldenen Skulptur eines links schauenden Löwen, der einen Widderkopf zwischen den Vorderpranken hält. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Vert an image of the sculpture of a lion, the head turned to sinister and a ram's head between his forepaws, all Or, the chief countercompony gules and argent. The chief is a reference to the villages’ former allegiance to the “Hinder” County of Sponheim, which bore arms chequy gules and argent. Böschweiler, Burbach and Heupweiler were in the Sponheim Oberamt of Birkenfeld.
The German blazon reads: '''' The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per fess sable issuant from the line of partition a demilion Or armed, langued and crowned gules and vert a pall reversed wavy above which the Cross of Lorraine, both argent. The lion refers to the parts of the municipal area once held by Palatinate-Zweibrücken. The cross with two crossbars recalls the time when the Duchy of Lorraine held sway in Heimbach. The “pall reversed” (that is, upside-down Y shape) symbolizes the coming together of the Reichenbach and the Unnerbach to form the Heimbach.
The German blazon reads: Das Wappen zeigt ein Schachbrett mit blau-gelben Feldern, oben rechts ein goldenes Freifeld, darin ein Rabe auf zwei grünen Mandeln. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Chequy azure and Or a quarter of the second in which a raven standing on two almonds, all proper. At the wine festival in Mandel, the village was decked out with the municipal flag, giving rise to the question of what the coat of arms meant. The arms, approved by the now defunct Regierungsbezirk administration in 1959, is derived from the village's former court seal.
The vair pattern was from the arms of the Ferrers family, Earls of Derby. A disc hung from the collar of each lion: one bearing the red Lancashire rose, the other a Cheshire garb. The full blazon of the arms was as follows:Geoffrey Briggs, Civic and Corporate Heraldry, London, 1971 Azure semée of cross crosslets three lozenges Or; a bordure of the last charged with three garbs and as many double headed eagles displayed alternately of the first. And for a Crest: issuant from a mural crown Or a mount vert, thereon a castle with two towers proper.
The German blazon reads: Schild gespalten, vorne in Grün zwei goldene gekreuzte Hämmer, hinten in Gold ein roter blaubewehrter und -gezungter Löwe. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per pale vert a hammer and pick per saltire Or and Or a lion rampant gules armed and langued azure. The charge on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side, the hammer and pick, is the mark of the stone industry in the municipality. The charge on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side, the lion, is a reference to the village's former allegiance to the Waldgraviate-Rhinegraviate.
The German blazon reads: Unter silbernem Schildhaupt, darin ein rotes Balkenkreuz, in blauem Feld zwei gekreuzte silberne Dachdeckerhämmer, bekleidet von einer silbernen Dachplatte. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Azure two slater's hammers in saltire, between their heads a slate shingle, all argent, on a chief of the same a cross gules. The cross on the chief is a reference to the village's former allegiance to the Electorate of Trier. The charges in the field below this, the slater's hammers and the shingle, refer to the old slate mines within Bruschied's limits.
The inescutcheon is inspired by an old court seal known to have been used in 1584 and 1604 (an original seal stamp is kept at the Darmstadt State Archive, with a plaster copy at the Mainz State Archive). Saint Michael is the local church patron, whom the municipality wanted to combine with the historical composition in the inescutcheon. The inescutcheon is also about the only part of the arms for which the German blazon names tinctures.Description and explanation of Hackenheim’s arms The arms have been borne since 1953 when they were approved by the Rhineland-Palatinate Ministry of the Interior.
The German blazon reads: In Gold ein schwarzes Gemarkungszeichen. The last word refers to the unusual charge seen on the escutcheon, a “municipal area sign”. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Or a bar and a saltire both couped, the arm in sinister chief crossed by a bendlet couped and the two arms in base conjoined by a chevron reversed sable. The tinctures are the Palatine colours.Description and explanation of Bobenheim am Berg’s arms The arms were approved in 1983 by the now abolished Regierungsbezirk of Rheinhessen-Pfalz and date from a 1714 court seal.
The German blazon reads: The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per fess gules a leopard passant guardant argent and argent issuant from a base wavy of the field three piles reversed, the middle one slightly taller and surmounting the outer two vert. The charge in the upper field, the leopard, is drawn from the arms once borne by the Lords of Kellenbach. The three piles reversed (that is, upside down; piles in heraldry usually point down) are drawn from the old Court Seal of Kellenbach. The wavy base symbolizes the Kellenbach, after which the village is named.
The German blazon reads: Von Silber und Rot geteilt, oben drei blaue Lilien nebeneinander, unten ein liegendes silbernes Spatenblatt. In English heraldic language, the municipality's arms might be described thus: Per fess argent three fleurs-de- lis in fess azure and gules a spade blade fesswise sinister of the first. Gabsheim's arms as displayed and described herein go back to a court seal that was being used as early as 1507. While the spade blade is believed to have been a municipal symbol, the lilies refer to the Chamberlains of Dalberg, who were the lords until the late 18th century.
The German blazon reads: In Grün zwei schräggekreuzte goldene Schippen mit abwärts gekehrten silbernen Schaufeln mit viereckigen Handgriffen oben am Stil, überdeckt von einem goldenen Pickel mit gesenktem silbernen Eisen. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Vert two shovels in saltire argent helved Or, with rectangular handles to chief, surmounting them in pale a pickaxe of the second helved of the third, the helve to chief. The arms were approved by the Bavarian ministry of the interior in 1926 and go back to a court seal from 1724.Karl Heinz Debus: Das große Wappenbuch der Pfalz.
The German blazon reads: In Silber auf grünem Grund ein bewurzelter grüner Eller- oder Erlenbaum mit stilisierten Blättern, dessen Stamm von zwei Wappenschildern beseitet wird, rechts von Blau und Silber und Rot geteilt, links in Silber ein roter Balken, begleitet oben von zwei, unten von einer roten Kugel. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Argent on a mount in base vert a rooted alder of the same, its stock flanked with two inescutcheons, the dexter tierced in fess azure, argent and gules, and the sinister argent a fess gules between three roundles of the same.
The municipality's arms might be described thus: Per bend sinister, azure a lion's head sinister erased argent langued and crowned gules, and gules a wheel spoked of six of the second, over all on a bend sinister Or three bunches of grapes vert. The German blazon accompanying the file used in this article (Von Blau und Rot durch einen goldenen Schräglinksbalken, belegt mit drei grünen Trauben, geteilt, oben ein silberner, rot gezungter und ebenso bekrönter nach links sehender Löwenkopf, unten ein silbernes sechsspeichiges Rad) makes no mention at all of the border around the escutcheon bearing the municipality's name.
It rapidly established itself as a standard work of reference, and was reprinted in 1961, 1977 and 1985. The great strength of Papworth's Ordinary was the rigorousness of its system of classification by blazon, which (with minor modifications) has remained the basis for all ordinaries published since: there was only one possible place for any particular coat of arms to be entered within it.Collins 1942, pp. 8–10.For further details, see Its weakness was its dependence for its contents on Burke's General Armory and other secondary sources, which meant that it inherited many of their errors and omissions.
The German blazon reads: Das Wappen zeigt einen blauen Rundschild mit drei goldenen Trauben und goldenen Weinstockblättern, darüber eine goldene Krone. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Azure three bunches of grapes each slipped and leafed of one fixed in triangle Or, in chief a crown of the same adorned with rubies. On 5 October 1950, Niederhausen was granted approval by the Rhineland-Palatinate Minister of the Interior to bear arms. It may well be one of the few coats of arms in Rhineland-Palatinate that so clearly expresses a winegrowing village's character.
The German blazon reads: Durch Wellenschnitt schräglinks geteilt, oben in Gold ein wachsender Roter Löwe, unten in Rot ein weißes Gemerke in Form eines Schaftes mit Hinterer Oberkopfstrebe, alle mit kreisförmigen Enden. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per bend sinister wavy, Or a demilion gules armed and langued argent and gules a cramp bendwise sinister with crossbar, all pometty, of the third. Löllbach belonged throughout much of its history to the Waldgraves, albeit to several lines of that comital house. This explains the charge on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side, the lion.
The greater arms may also be displayed only with the crowned escutcheon. While the arms have undergone significant changes over the years, such as changing the inescutcheon with the ruling dynasty, they are based on arms created by King Karl Knutsson in 1448. The escutcheon used in the greater blazon has in total five elements: 4 quarterings on the main escutcheon (two coats of arms duplicated), and three coat of arms incorporated into an escutcheon of pretense. However, Bernadotte never used any stars in the arms of Pontecorvo (neither as Prince of Pontecorvo, nor as King of Sweden and Norway).
However, this configuration proved extremely popular. The coat of arms can be seen not only in public places such as schools and governmental offices, but also in many private houses, places of business and private universities, due to being a common display of national pride. The National Symbols and Statehood Day of Montenegro Law contains the official blazon of the current arms: Despite the mention of the red background, the coat of arms is almost always used without it, with the eagle appearing as a supporter. The coat of arms appears on a red background on the national seal and the national flag.
After a period of adaptation, he won his first Senior French championship in 1991, imposing himself in the final against Georges Mathonnet, another hope for French judo, born two years before Douillet.the judoka Georges Mathonnetthe blazon of Mathonnet Thanks to this first national title, David qualified for his first senior European championships in Prague, where he finished in third place, a real achievement for a 22-year-old at his first selection. A few weeks later, he disputed the military world championships, where he earned two medals. At the beginning of 1992, he successfully defended his national title in the heavyweight category.
The community's arms might be described thus: Gules an uprooted birch tree overlaid with a wall anchor argent. What the arms, whose charges can be partly traced in tithing seals and boundary stones back to the 16th century, mean is unclear. The charge that the German blazon describes as a “wall anchor” (Maueranker) is not accepted as such by everyone, with some saying it could have been meant to be taken as a weaver's reel. With a document from 22 July 1926, the interior minister of the People's State of Hesse granted the community the right to bear these arms.

In the 2007 federal election the most popular party was the FDP which received 20.31% of the vote. The next three most popular parties were the SVP (19.51%), the SP (14.36%) and the LPS Party (13.75%). In the federal election, a total of 689 votes were cast, and the voter turnout was 51.3%.Swiss Federal Statistical Office, Nationalratswahlen 2007: Stärke der Parteien und Wahlbeteiligung, nach Gemeinden/Bezirk/Canton accessed 28 May 2010 The blazon of the municipal coat of arms is Azure, a Heart Gules above two Mullets (of five) Or above a Crescent of the last.
Unlike in European heraldry, however, this "blazon" is not prescriptive—the depiction of a does not follow the name—instead the names only serve to describe the . The pictorial depictions of the are not formalized and small variations of what is supposed to be the same can sometimes be seen, but the designs are for the most part standardized through time and tradition. The degree of variation tolerated differ from to as well. For example, the paulownia crest with 5-7-5 leaves is reserved for the prime minister, whereas paulownia with fewer leaves could be used by anyone.
In the Old French words of the heraldic poem of Le Siege de Karlaverok, his blazon is described (K, verses 196-200): > "Rauf le filz Guilleme autrement > Ke cil de Valence portoit > Car en lieu des merlos mettoit > Trois chapeaus de rosis vermelles > Ki bien avienent a mervellez." > "Ralph Fitz William bore differently > That which de Valence did bear, > For in the martlets' place, he wore > Chaplets of roses, three, vermeilles, > Which were becoming, wondrous well."N.H. Nicolas, The Siege of Carlaverock > in the XXVIII Edward I. AD MCCC (J.B. Nichols and Son, London 1828), pp.
The provincial flag of Saskatchewan is blazon Per fess Vert and Or, in the fly a prairie lily slipped and leaved proper, in the dexter chief an escutcheon of the Arms of Saskatchewan fimbriated Argent. The symbolism within the flag is shown just with the colours; yellow representing the grain fields in the southern portion of the province where as the green represents the northern forested areas. The Western red lily in the fly of the flag is the provincial flower. In 2017, The Minister of Parks, Culture and Sports designated September 22 as Saskatchewan Flag Day .
The flag is composed of ten golden castles (arranged in rows of 3–2–3–2) on a red background, fringed by a golden border in the style of a castle battlement. The blazon is: "Gules, ten Towers three two three two, all within a Bordure embattled Or". The ten golden castles represent both the urban landscape of Greater Manchester, and its division in to its ten metropolitan districts: Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Tameside, Trafford, Salford, Stockport, and Wigan. The red ground represents manpower and the region's red-brick architectural heritage, both legacies of Greater Manchester's industrial past.
Landing of William in Scheveningen on 30 November 1813 Inauguration of William as sovereign Prince of the Netherlands in Amsterdam on 30 March 1814 Insignia or blazon of Willem I and his signature on the occassios of his Joyous Entry in Ghent on the sixth of September in 1815 in honour of the founding of the university of Ghent. After Napoleon's defeat at Leipzig (October 1813), the French troops retreated to France from all over Europe. The Netherlands had been annexed to the French Empire by Napoleon in 1810. But now city after city was evacuated by the French occupation troops.
The German blazon reads: Das Wappen der Ortsgemeinde Gillenbeuren ist ein im Deichselschnittgeteilter Schild. Er beinhaltet oben in Grün drei goldene Ähren, vorne in Rot ein goldener, schrägrechter Stufenbalken, begleitet von oben drei, unten zwei goldenen Kreuzchen, hinten in Gold ein rotes, schräglinkes Schwert. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per pall, dexter gules semée of crosses a bend dancetty Or, sinister Or a sword bendwise sinister of the first, the pommel to chief, in chief vert three ears of wheat of the second. The charges in this escutcheon refer to the municipality's history.
The German blazon reads: Von Silber und Blau gespalten. Vorn in Silber ein roter Torturm mit 3 Zinnen, offenem Tor und 3 (2:1) offenen Fenstern. In Blau ein aus dem Schildfuß wachsender goldener Bischofsstab mit Krümme nach außen, darunter im Schildfuß ein schräglinkes, silbernes Wellenbad. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per pale argent issuant from base a gate tower embattled of three gules with three windows and gate of the field, and azure issuant from base a bishop's staff sinister Or surmounted in base by a bendlet sinister wavy of the first.
The German blazon reads: Das Wappen geteilt von Silber und Grün. Oben schräggekreuzt eine schwarze Speerspitze und ein blauer Lilienstab, in der Mitte gedeckt mit einer roten Rose. Unten eine silberne Urne, umrahmt von silbernen Steinen eines Hügelgrabes in der Vorderansicht. The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per fess argent a spearhead sable and a staff ensigned with a fleur-de-lis azure per saltire, the whole surmounted by a rose abased gules, and vert an urn with two handles within, issuant from base, the stones of a barrow, all of the first.
The German blazon reads: Schild im Göpelschnitt geteilt. Vorne in Silber ein stilisierter schwarzer Tempel, hinten in Grün eine silberne Kirche, unten in Gold über drei roten Rauten vier rote Kugeln, jeweils balkenweise. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per pall reversed, dexter argent a temple sable, sinister vert a church of the first, and in base Or four roundels in fess under which three lozenges in fess, all gules. The partition into three fields is a reference to the centres of Forst, Molzig and Pfaffenhausen, which are all parts of the municipality of Forst (Eifel).
Because the fountain consists equally of parts in a metal and a colour, its use is not limited by the rule of tincture as are the other roundels. The fountain may be made in any heraldic tinctures, but unless otherwise stated, it is silver/white and blue. If the blazon of a coat of arms contains the word fountain, it is not a natural, water-gushing fountain which should be depicted but a roundel like this. Syke, an alternative name for fountain, is a Northern English dialect word for "well" and features on the canting arms of the Sykes family.
Coat of arms of Sir Alfred James Newton as Governor of the Irish Society in a memorial window of the Irish Society, erected at its tercentenary 1613–1913 in the town hall of Coleraine.

On 1 June 1968, the college granted arms to President Lyndon Johnson; the grant was presented to Johnson by Mr. Donald Stewart in the Oval Office of the White House on Monday, June 10, 1968, at 10:00 am, with U.S. Senator Daniel Brewster in attendance.Leslie Pine, International Heraldry. Rutland, Vt., CE Tuttle Co. [1970] The arms were blazoned Azure on a Saltire Gules fimbriated between four Eagles displayed a Mullet Or. In October 1968, the college granted a coat of arms to Maryland Governor Spiro Agnew. The blazon of these arms was Azure on a Cross between four Horses Heads couped Argent a Cross botony Gules.
The blazon of the counts of Toulouse and Languedoc: the Occitan cross gold on gules. Most of the territory that came to be called Languedoc (the region where is spoken; in Occitan , ) became attached to the Kingdom of France in the 13th century, following the Albigensian Crusade (1208–1229). This crusade aimed to put an end to what the Church considered the Cathar heresy, and enabled the Capetian dynasty to extend its influence south of the Loire. As part of this process, the former principalities of Trencavel (the Viscounty of Albi, Carcassona, Besièrs, Agde and Nimes) were integrated into the Royal French Domain in 1224.
A coat of arms was granted to the Bexley UDC on 16 October 1937 and inherited by the borough. The blazon was as follows: Per fesse vert and Or a fesse wavy barry wavy of four argent and azure in chief an eagle displayed between two apples leaved and slipped of the second and in base an oak tree eradicated proper. Crest: Upon heather proper within a coronet of four fleur-de-lis set upon a rim Or a horse forcene argent. The green and gold colouring of the arms represented the cornfields and grasslands which covered the area before the town grew up.
An approximation of the arms (but the lion should be purpure in colour) For many years, the Inn used the arms of the 3rd Earl of Lincoln as their own; in blazon, a "lion rampant purpure in a field or", which is a purple lion on a gold field. Around 1699, Sir Richard Holford discovered the Inn's own coat of arms on a manuscript, granted to them in 1516. The arms are "azure seme de fer moline or, on a dexter canton or a lion rampant purpure". Following validation using some heraldry books, the arms were placed first in the council chamber and then in the library.
Tombstone of Pierre de Corneillan, Musée de Cluny, Paris. Pierre de Corneillan (died 24 August 1355) was the Grand Prior of Saint-Gilles and 4th Grand Master of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, in Rhodes, from 1353 to 1355. His Blazon was : "Gules on a bend argent three Cornish choughs sable" De Corneillan spent most of his brief rule (18 months) successfully resisting the intentions of Pope Innocent VI, who planned to move the seat of the Order from Rhodes, to somewhere even closer to Palestine and the Mamluk possessions. His marble sarcophagus is preserved at the main hall of the Archaeological Museum of Rhodes.
The Drapers Company received its original grant of arms in 1439, from Sir William Bruges, Garter King of Arms. The "Fraternity" was founded under the protection of Blessed Mary the Virgin of the Mystery which is reflected in the iconography of the arms. The Garter King explained his design of the arms as follows: :"That is to say in honour of the very glorious Virgin and Mother Mary who is in the shadow of the sun and yet shines with all clearness and purity. I have devised in the blazon three sunbeams issuing from three flaming clouds crowned with three Imperial crowns of gold on a shield of azure".
The blazon of the Barrett coat of arms is: Barry of ten per pale argent and gules counterchanged; Crest: A demi-lion rampant sable, ducally crowned per pale argent and gules. In layman's terms, this means that the shield is divided vertically into two halves, both halves striped horizontally red and white, with the colour changing at the mid point; while the crest is a black half-lion crowned with a red-and-white ducal coronet. The clan motto is: "", whose meaning is commonly given as "Unbowed, Unbroken: Honour and Courage" but actually means "You may break [me] but will not bend [me]: Power and integrity".
Argent a pale gules A pale is a term used in heraldic blazon and vexillology to describe a charge on a coat of arms (or flag), that takes the form of a band running vertically down the centre of the shield. Writers broadly agree that the width of the pale ranges from about one-fifth to about one-third of the width of the shield, but this width is not fixed. A narrow pale is more likely if it is uncharged, that is, if it does not have other objects placed on it. If charged, the pale is typically wider to allow room for the objects drawn there.
Nelson City has a coat of arms, obtained in 1958 from the College of Arms to mark the Centenary of Nelson as a City. The blazon of the arms is: :"Barry wavy Argent and Azure a Cross Flory Sable on a Chief also Azure a Mitre proper And for the Crest on a Wreath of the Colours Issuant from a Mural Crown proper a Lion rampant Gules holding between the fore paws a Sun in splendour or. The supporters on the dexter side a Huia Bird and on the sinister side a Kotuku both proper." Motto "Palmam qui meruit ferat" (Let him, who has earned it, bear the palm).
Blazon: :Shield: Gules, a falcon Or on a mount issuant from sinister base Vert, overall a bend and in dexter base three fleurs-de-lis in bend of the second. :Crest: That for the regiments and separate battalions of the North Carolina Army National Guard: On a wreath of the colors, Or and Gules, a hornet’s nest hanging from a bough beset with 13 hornets all Proper. :Motto: CARRY ON. Symbolism :Shield: The shield is red for Artillery. The 113th Field Artillery, North Carolina National Guard, was attached to the 79th Division and engaged in the action of that division which resulted in the capture of Montfaucon, September 27, 1918.
Blazon: „In Silber über einem mit zwei durchgehenden silbernen Wellenbalken belegten blauen Dreiberg eine grüne Hausmarke, bestehend aus Kreuzkopfvierfußschaft mit erhöhter linker Mittelkreuzstrebe, Vierfuß hintenendig gekreuzt.“ (Silver, at the bottom a blue trimount, with two continuous silver waves going through the mount and above a green House mark consisting of a complex pattern.) The house mark belongs to the innkeeper family Seiser, who have played an important role in the municipality since the end of the 15th century. The green colour has been freely selected. The trimount alludes to the Aschauer coat of arms who Bernau used to belong to, however, it also stands for the mountains in the Chiemgau area.
The ring of stars was removed, but otherwise the written description (blazon) as well as the actual drawings were essentially identical to the presidential coat of arms, except for some differences in the colors. The official drawings and paintings were made by illustrators in the Design and Illustration Division of the Institute of Heraldry, U.S. Army, under the supervision of Charles A. Reynolds. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing completed the actual seal dies in July 1976. There were two seal dies made with counterdies and hand presses in order to affix wax impressions to official documents; one in the Vice President's office and one in the Senate.
The German blazon reads: Über von Schwarz und Blau gespaltenem Wellenschildfuß in Silber ein schwebendes, geschliffenes, geradearmiges Tatzenkreuz. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Argent above a base wavy per pale sable and azure a cross pattée humetty of the last. The base in two tinctures is supposed to refer to the village's historical division between lordships, countries and even between Bundesländer after the Second World War until 2004. One side belonged to the Duchy of Palatinate-Zweibrücken while the other belonged to either Lotharingia or the House of Leyen, and later Herchweiler was split along the same boundary into Bavarian and Prussian sectors.
The municipality’s arms might be described thus: Per bend sinister Or a lion rampant sinister gules armed and langued azure and vert in base an attire of four points fesswise above which a birch leaf palewise, both of the first. The charge on the dexter (armsbearer’s right, viewer’s left) side, the lion, is drawn from the arms once borne by the Waldgraves, among whose holdings was Hausweiler. The antler (“attire” in the blazon) in base refers to the wealth of game in the countryside around the village. The birch leaf on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side is canting for the vanished village of Birken, whose name meant “birches”.
The German blazon reads: '''' The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Azure a bend sinister wavy argent between the letter A surmounted by the letter V Or and a lion rampant of the same armed and langued gules. The bend sinister wavy (diagonal wavy stripe) stands for the stream that runs through the village, the Kuralb. The charge on the sinister (armsbearer’s left, viewer’s right) side, the House of Wittelsbach (Palatine) lion, is a reference to the village’s former allegiance to the Duchy of Palatinate-Zweibrücken. The field tincture, azure (blue), recalls the village’s former status as part of the County of Veldenz.
The blazon of the arms is "Azure; a lymphad, sails furled, argent, on a shield or, pendent from the mast, a fess checky azure and argent".R M Urquhart, Scottish Civic Heraldry (Scottish Library Association, Hamilton, 2001) Another symbol associated with the county is the Prince of Wales's feathers badge, demonstrating the heir to the throne's connections as Baron Renfrew. It was used historically on badges of local army and militia regiments, as well as the cap badges of the former Renfrewshire Constabulary. The Paisley pattern is used as the logo of Renfrewshire Council, one of the three modern local authorities in the county.
The German blazon reads: Schild, durch eingeschobene silberne Spitze gespalten, darin eine rote Waage, vorne in Grün ein rotgezungter abgeschnittener goldener Löwenkopf, hinten in Grün ein silberner Mühlstein mit drei goldenen Ähren belegt. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Tierced in mantle, dexter vert a lion's head couped Or langued gules, sinister vert a millstone argent surmounted by three ears of wheat laid per pall reversed of the second, in base argent balances of the third. The lion's head refers to Strohn's former status as a Springiersbach Abbey holding. The lion was a common charge in arms borne by abbots.
The German blazon reads: Durch Wellenschnitt von Blau über Gold geteilt, oben eine fliegende weiße Taube mit weißem Ölkrug im Schnabel, unten 7 (4:3) rote Rauten balkenweise. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per fess wavy, azure a dove volant bearing an oil jug in its beak argent, and Or seven lozenges gules, four and three. The municipality's and the church's patron saint is Saint Remigius, whose attribute is the dove bearing an oil jug in its beak, thus explaining the charge above the line of partition. In feudal times, Retterath belonged, as an Electoral-Trier fief, to the County of Virneburg.
The German blazon reads: In Silber ein schräglinkes, rotes Schwert, begleitet oben von einer blauen Urne, unten von einem grünen Mühlstein. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Argent a sword bendwise sinister gules, the point to chief, between an urn azure and a millstone vert. The red sword stands for the execution place of the Electoral-Trier Amt of Daun between Hohenfels and Essingen on the old Roman road, marked on the map of the Amt of Daun in 1683 with a gallows symbol. The blue urn refers to the great Frankish burying ground with 125 graves and the important finds therefrom.
The German blazon reads: Schild von Silber und Grün gespalten. Vorne ein rotes Balkenkreuz, hinten eine silberne, nach links gewendete Axt. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per pale argent a cross gules and vert an axe palewise sinister of the first. The cross is Electoral Trier's old armorial bearing, while the other charge, the axe, is Saint Matthias’s attribute, thus representing the municipality’s and the church’s patron saint. The field tincture on the sinister (armsbearer’s left, viewer’s right) side, vert (green), stands for the rustic charm of the local countryside and woods.Description and explanation of Mehren’s arms – Click on Ort.
The German blazon reads: Von Silber über Rot geteilt, oben ein grüner Erlenzweig mit drei Blättern, unten ein halbes silbernes Rad. The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per fess argent an alder sprig leafed of three and gules a demi-wheel of the first. The alder sprig is a canting charge, suggesting the municipality’s name, which is indeed derived from the German word for “alder”. As mentioned above, the name is a corruption of the phrase Zu den Erlen. The half-wheel below the line of partition is – in its whole form – Saint Catherine’s attribute, thus representing the chapel’s patron saint.
The German blazon reads: Zwischen einem durch Zinnenschnitt von Gold und Rot geteilten Schildhaupt und einem grünen Fünfberg, darin eine silberne Mausefalle, in Gold eine rote Waage. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Or balances gules and in chief a fess embattled of seven of the same, in base a mount of five vert charged with a hemispherical wire mousetrap argent. The fess embattled (horizontal stripe with an upper edge resembling a castle's battlements) symbolizes the castle built by John of Bohemia on the Nerother Kopf (mountain). The red balances stand as a symbol of the old Neroth high court.
The German blazon reads: Unter silbernem Schildhaupt, darin schräggekreuzt rotes Schwert und roter Schlüssel, in Grün ein goldener Stein, aus dem unteren Schildrand wachsend, darüber zwei goldene Eichblätter mit Eicheln.Genehmigungsurkunde vom 20. Oktober 1980, AZ.: 100-020.022, Bezirksregierung Trier The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Vert issuant from base a stone, above which an oak twig issuant from the chief leafed and fructed of two, the whole Or, in a chief argent a sword hilt sable and a key in saltire both gules, the key in bend sinister and surmounting the sword. In its composition, the municipal arms go back to the French Revolution.
The German blazon reads: Unter goldenem Schildhaupt, darin ein roter Zickzackbalken, in Rot durch silberne Wellenleiste gespalten, vorne ein aufgerichtetes goldenes Schwert, hinten eine goldene Ähre. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Gules a pallet wavy argent between a sword palewise, the point to chief and an ear of wheat, both Or, in a chief of the third a fess dancetty of three of the first. The fess dancetty (horizontal zigzag) in the chief refers to Kerschenbach's mediaeval allegiance to the Lordship of Manderscheid-Blankenheim. The Counts of Manderscheid bore the red fess dancetty on a gold field in their arms.
The German blazon reads: In Silber eine blaue Wellenpfahldeichsel, bedeckt von einer gezinnten einbogigen Brücke. The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Argent a pall wavy with a third arm palewise azure surmounted in fess abased by an arched bridge embattled of five gules. The unusual pall in these arms – the two diagonal arms alone are far more usual and a pall is seldom wavy – symbolizes the three brooks that meet in the municipality. The bridge is a canting charge for the municipality’s name, originally Brück (while the word for bridge is the very similar Brücke).Description and explanation of Brücktal’s arms – Click on Brücktal.
The German blazon reads: Durch Wellenschnitt geteilt; oben in Silber eine rote Krone (Kaiserkrone), unten in Blau ein silberner Krug. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per fess wavy, argent an Imperial crown gules and azure a wine jug of the first. The Emperor's crown above the line of partition refers to Gillenfeld's first documentary mention in 1016, which was in a document from Holy Roman Emperor Heinrich II, who would have worn such a crown. The wavy line of partition and the tincture azure below refer to Gillenfeld's maars – lakes that form in volcanic craters – which characterize the local geography.
The German blazon reads: Von Blau über Silber geteilt, oben eine goldene Waage, unten ein aus je drei roten Fäden gebildetes Gitterkreuz. The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per fess azure balances Or and argent a cross triple parted gules. Rockeskyll’s location between Hillesheim and Gerolstein ensured its importance through the ages as a market centre. This is symbolized in the arms by the charge above the line of partition, balances such as those traditionally used at markets. The other charge is a cross meant to resemble those on the capitals of some of the columns in Rockeskyll’s old church.
The German blazon reads: The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per pale argent a cross gules, and per fess chequy of sixteen of the second and first and gules three bugle-horns of the first. The red cross on silver on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side (Saint George's Cross) stands for the Electorate of Trier, while on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side, the “chequy” pattern in the same tinctures, stands for the comital family of Sponheim and the charge underneath that, the three bugles, also in the same tinctures, comes from the arms formerly borne by the Lords of Braunshorn.
The heraldic elements exalt the traditional courtesy and hospitality of the people of Icod; their laboriousness and extremely fertile countryside; their profound sense of patriotism and their dedication to the memory of the history uniting their two races under the auspices of Santa Cruz. As an official blazon, the coat of arms of Icod affirms and underscores all of the acts of the city. (1) CANARIAS - Magazine which is published in Villa de La Orotava. (2) Sinople - Heraldic color which in painting is represented by green, and in engraving by oblique lines which run from the cantón diestro del jefe al siniestro de la punta.
The German blazon reads: In gespaltenem Schild vorne in blau oben ein silbernes Lindenblatt, darunter schräggekreuzt ein silberner Hammer und Schlägel, hinten in Gold ein blaubewehrter und gezungter roter Löwe. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per pale azure a lime leaf in bend sinister, below which a hammer and a sledge per saltire, all argent, and Or a lion rampant gules armed and langued of the first. The lime (or linden) leaf stands as a canting charge for the municipality's name, Lindenschied. The two mining tools stand for the slate mining that was once undertaken within municipal limits.
The German blazon reads: In der schwarzen Schildfläche zwischen zwei gekreuzten goldenen Palmwedeln ein nach rechts schreitender aufrechter goldener Löwe, rotbezungt und -bewehrt. The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Sable between two palm leaves palewise, the stems in base per saltire Or a lion rampant of the same armed and langued gules. The village and court of Riegenroth were sold in the early 15th century by the Knights of Schönberg at the Castle at Wesel to the Counts Palatine of the Rhine. The gold lion on the black field refers to the landholders, the Dukes of Palatinate- Simmern and the Electors Palatine.
The German blazon reads: '''' The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per pale Or a wheel spoked of six gules, a bend sinister wavy azure throughout and a hammer and sledge in saltire sable, all three in pale, and sable a lion rampant of the first armed and langued of the second. The lion refers to the Dukes of Palatinate-Simmern, who once held sway locally. It also refers to the Electors Palatine. The two crossed mining tools refer to ore mining in the Dichtelbach area. The wavy bend sinister refers to the municipality's name (which ends in —bach, which means “brook”).
The German blazon reads: Das Stadtwappen zeigt in einem spätgotischen Rundschild auf rotem Grund winkelmäßig angeordnet abwechselnd je 16 in gold und blau gehaltene Quadrate. Darunter befindet sich die gräfliche Krone. The town's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Gules a chevron countercompony Or and azure throughout, in base a crown of the second. The whole coat of arms refers to Kirchberg's former allegiance to the “Further” County of Sponheim. The chevron countercompony (that is, chequered in two rows) refers to the “chequy” arms borne by the Counts, with the squares here in the same tinctures as they were in theirs.
The German blazon reads: '''' The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Tierced in mantle reversed, argent an urn and a bowl in pale azure, sable an eagle displayed Or, armed and langued gules and Or a bend of the fifth. Niedersohren in the Pflege (literally “care”, but actually a local geopolitical unit) of Sohren was a royal estate, and thus the eagle is borne as a charge. In 1301, Niedersohren passed as an Imperial fief to the Counts of Sponheim, after whom came their heirs, the Margraves of Baden and the Counts of Veldenz. After the 1707 partition, the Margraves of Baden were the only landholders.
Lappland itself was never considered a duchy but on 18 January 1884 the Privy Council gave all Provinces the right of use to a ducal coronet for their arms. Blazon Swedish version: "Argent, a Wildman statant Gules wrapped with birch leaves Vert on the head and around the waist holding a Club Or in dexter over the shoulder." The wildman used to be depicted with more features, impressively drawn muscles and a dour expression on his face. The wildman wielding a club as heraldic symbol of Lappland first appeared at the coronation of Charles IX of Sweden in 1607, then at the same king's burial in 1611.
The German blazon reads: Schild Rot und Weiß gespalten, vorne ein weißes Andreaskreuz, hinten 2 (2:1) rote Kugeln. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per pale gules a saltire couped argent, and argent three roundels of the first. The saltire (X-shaped cross) on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side stands for Saint Andrew, the local church's patron saint who was depicted in the old court seal from 1764. The three roundels on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side refer to a knightly family that named itself after Altrich and whose existence in the 14th century is witnessed.
The German blazon reads: Über goldenem Schildfuß mit rotem Sparrenbalken gespalten, vorn in Blau ein silberner Kirchturm mit schwarzem Dach, hinten in Silber ein rotes Lilienkreuz. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per pale azure a churchtower argent with conical roof, door and two windows in pale sable and argent a cross flory gules, in a base Or a fess dancetty of the fourth. The three charges all come from Laufeld's history. The churchtower on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side was part of the only parish church in the County of Manderscheid, and was important as a defensive structure as well.
The German blazon reads: Über blauen, durch Wellenschnitt geteilten Schildfuß schräglinks geteilt, rechts in Rot ein aufsteigendes silbernes Vortragskreuz, links in Silber ein rotes Schildchen, which is a description of the Meerfeld Coat of arms. The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Over a base wavy azure, party per bend sinister gules issuant palewise from the line of partition John the Baptist’s cross argent and argent an inescutcheon of the second. The maar gave the municipality the first syllable in its name, Meer—, from an Old High German word meaning "bog" or "moor". The wavy base stands for this body of water.
The German blazon reads: Unter silbernem Schildhaupt mit drei schwarzen Muscheln (2/1) steht in rotem Feld das silberne Pleiner Viadukt mit 4 Pfeilern über einer von links nach rechts sich windenden goldenen Schlange. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Gules an arched viaduct with four piers, the inner two longer than the outer, argent, in base a serpent Or, in a chief of the second three escallops sable, two and one. The shells are Saint James's scallops. Pilgrims on Saint James's Way carried them as a way of recognizing each other. One of the many “ways” that made up Saint James's Way led by Plein.
The award of arms was on November 17, 1938, by the Reichsstatthalter Wilhelm Murr. Blazon : "In a divided by wave section of gold and blue shield above a black deer rack, below a floating golden three mountain." In the upper half of the shield recalls the black Württemberg deer that Berghülen became part of Württemberg by merging together with the current district Bühlenhausen in 1447. The lower half of the shield makes the coat of arms "talking", the three mountains are for the first, the shaft section and the color blue for the second part of the municipality name (hüle = village pond, livestock watering).
Oberreichenbach's municipal coat of arms shows four green fir trees rooted to a field of yellow, above a blue, wavy fess and a checkboard pattern of five red squares and five yellow squares at the base of the blazon. This pattern is largely a combination of the coats of arms of Oberkollbach and Würzbach, as Oberreichenbach did not actually have a coat of arms. The wazy fess is a reference to the names Oberreichenbach, Oberkollbach, Würzbach, and Unterkollbach, as bach means "stream" in German. The four trees reference the Black Forest and references the name Igelsloch, derived from "loh", an old German word for "forest".
The German blazon reads: In gespaltenem Schild vorne das blau goldene Schach, hinten in Silber unter einem blauen schrägliegenden Wellenbalken ein schwarzes Wasserrad. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per pale chequy of ten azure and Or and argent a bend sinister wavy enhanced, the end towards chief abased, of the first, below which a waterwheel spoked of eight sable. The “chequy” pattern on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side recalls the “Further” County of Sponheim, whose counts were between 1248 and 1437 Nieder Kostenz's lords and landholders. Their arms bore the same pattern throughout the escutcheon in the same tinctures.
Dunstan achieves a specialised, limited reputation in the realm of hagiography when the Bollandists agree to publish an article of his. Dunstan travels to Europe again to meet with them, and though he knows he can never be a part of their world, he is satisfied to have achieved recognition in his chosen field of study. He makes a friend of the oldest Jesuit in the bunch, Padre Blazon, who is happy to talk at length in exchange for food and liquor. The Padre reveals the earthly lives of the saints, the side that history has repressed because of the human need for examples of excellence and things they cannot explain.
The German blazon reads: '''' The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per fess azure an eagle displayed argent armed and langued gules holding in his talons fesswise a key Or, wards to base, and Or a doe salient reguardant pierced to the neck with an arrow bendwise sinister, all of the third. The arms were approved in 1970 by the now abolished Regierungsbezirk administration in Neustadt. The doe comes from Obrigheim's old coat of arms, and the eagle is a charge drawn from Albsheim's, Colgenstein-Heidesheim's and Mühlheim's arms, and ultimately from those borne by the House of Leiningen. The key stands for Weißenburg Monastery.
The coat of arms has a golden background in front of it in the middle is a red post bearing a silver fish. On its left side is an armed black lion with a red crown and on the post's left side is a black goat. In the nether part is a blue wave, which symbolizes the Eckenbach, a small river from which the municipality's name derives. The crowned black lion and the silver fish were taken from the former coat of arms of Eschenau, into which they were copied from the blazon of the Patrician family Muffel, which ruled over the market town until 1751.
Town's coat of arms on the Town Hall steps in Rotenburg The town's arms might be described thus: Argent at the nombril point a mount of three gules surmounted by a bough vert in fess arising from the bottom of which and growing in pale a sprig of three linden leaves vert. The German blazon describes the “mount” as a Dreiberg, even though in the artistic rendering seen here, it does not have the same shape that this charge usually has in German civic coats of arms. See, for instance, Nentershausen's, Neuenstein's or Philippsthal's coat of arms. The arms come from the early 17th century.
Motto: Pro Patria Dimicans The blazon (heraldic description) means that the shield is divided per chevron, the upper part being purple (Purpure) and the lower part being gold (Or). The Celestial Crowns have eight points, five of which are conventionally shown in the illustration and each end in a star. They are "of the last" tincture mentioned, that is, gold, and are horizontally arranged (Fessewise). At the top of the shield (In Chief), is a golden cross with each limb ending in a fleur de lis (Flory), and at the base of the shield is a raven in its natural colours (Proper) holding a golden ring (Annulet) in its beak.
The German blazon reads: In Gold ein schwarzer Schrägbalken, beseitet von je einer schwarzen Leiste, belegt mit einem grünen Schildchen, darin eine goldene Haselnuss. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Or a bend cotticed sable surmounted by an inescutcheon vert charged with a hazelnut slipped palewise of the first. The underlying composition of the shield with the bend cotticed (slanted stripe flanked by two narrower stripes) was drawn from a seal used by the knight Sir Emmerich von Nußbaum (1385). The inescutcheon with the hazelnut is a canting element for the village's name (“Nußbaum” means “nut tree” in German).
Arms of Admiral Horatio Nelson, an example of debased heraldry, including such non-heraldic features as "a disabled ship" and "a battery in ruins" Debased heraldry is heraldry containing complex, non-standard and non-heraldic charges. They cannot be correctly drawn from the blazon alone, as is the case with the purest form of heraldry. Most debased heraldry was created after the 17th century, and in general early heraldry dating from the start of the heraldic era (–1215), deemed the purest and best, utilises simple and standard charges. However some early heraldry was debased, for example the arms of the Bishop of Chichester, overly complex in nature.
The date on which it became a chapter of canons is uncertain. Historians deny Brunon de Dabo-Egisheim, future Pope Leo IX, was a young monk and great provost here, but his family played a great role in the elevated status of this religious place, giving their blazon after the first crusades. Canons who subsequently held the rank of provost or dean came from very rich and noble families, among those Giovanni de Medici and several princes coming from the ducal House of Lorraine. Among the extensive privileges enjoyed by them was that of coining money; the Duchy of Lorraine was the last to hold this privilege in 1601.
The blazon in heraldic terms is: Or, three lions passant in pale azure crowned and armed Or langued gules, nine hearts Gules. This insignia is almost identical to the coat of arms of Estonia and the greater coat of arms of Tallinn which can both be traced directly back to King Valdemar II and the Danish rule in northern Estonia in 1219–1346. The main differences are as follows: In the Danish coat of arms the lions are crowned, face forward, and accompanied by nine hearts. In the Estonian coat of arms, the "leopards" still face the viewer, they are not crowned, and no hearts are present.
The coat of arms of the 4th Marine Regiment was previously used by Älvsborg Coastal Artillery Regiment (KA 4) from 1942 to 1994 and by the Gothenburg Marine Brigade with Älvsborg Coastal Artillery Regiment (Göteborgs marinbrigad med Älvsborgs kustartilleriregemente, GMB) from 1994 to 2000. Blazon: "Azure, the regimental badge, three waves bendy-sinister argent, charged with a double-tailed crowned lion rampant or, armed and langued gules, in dexter forepaw a sword or and in sinister a shield azure charged with three open crowns or placed two and one. The shield surmounted two gunbarrels of older pattern in saltire above a flaming grenade and waves".
The German blazon reads: In durch grünen Stab gespaltenem Schild vorne in Gold ein blaubewehrter und -gezungter roter Löwe nach links, hinten in Silber drei (2:1) schwarze Löwen. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: An endorse vert between Or a lion rampant sinister gules armed and langued azure, and argent three lions rampant sable. The charge on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side is a reference to the village's former allegiance to the Waldgraves and Rhinegraves. The three lions rampant on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side are the arms formerly borne by the Lords of Senheim.
The German blazon reads: In schräggeteiltem Schild vorn in Grün ein goldener gezinnter Turm auf einem silbernen Dreiberg, hinten in Gold ein blaubewehrter und -gezungter roter Löwe. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per bend vert a tower embattled Or on a mount of three in base argent and Or a lion rampant gules armed and langued azure. The tower on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side refers to the former keep on the Wildenburgkopf. The mount of three, a charge called a Dreiberg in German heraldry, symbolizes the Wildenburgkopf – a mountain – itself, which is under conservational protection.
The German blazon reads: '''' The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Argent a bar and in base a vergette couped at the bar sable, issuant from the bar a demilion azure armed and langued gules, in dexter base a pine twig slipped bendwise proper and in sinister base a lime leaf slipped vert. The lion is a reference to the village's former allegiance to the Counts of Veldenz in the Middle Ages. The two charges in base are canting for the municipality's name. As explained above, the two parts of the name are likely derived from the names of the two trees that these charges represent.
Blazon: "In silver a green lily in the gate opening of a continuous, black-grooved red wall abutting at the top on a curved green shield base covered with a curved silver strip." The coat of arms symbols are based on several local features. The high stone archways are ones that often belong to the homesteads, which are symbolized in the coat of arms by a jointed wall. In the gate opening is the heraldic lily - not as a symbol of purity and innocence, as is often the case - but rather in real terms related to the wild orchids that are common in the region around Großesnitz.
The German blazon reads: Schild gespalten durch eine eingeschweifte, erniedrigte, blaue Spitze, darin ein silberner Pfahl. Vorn ein blaubewehrter und -gezungter roter Löwe in Gold, hinten fünf silberne (2:1:2) Kugeln in Schwarz. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per pall reversed embowed to base in the flanks, dexter Or a lion rampant sinister gules armed and langued azure, sinister sable five roundles argent, two, one and two, and in base azure a pale of the fifth. The charge on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side, the lion, is a reference to the village's former allegiance to the Waldgraviate-Rhinegraviate.
The German blazon reads: In Rot-Gold geschachten Schild eine schwarze Spitze, belegt mit goldenem Löwenkopf. The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Chequy gules and Or a pile transposed sable charged with a lion’s head erased of the second langued of the first. The village of Bärweiler was a fief from the Waldgraviate in the family Stromberg’s and the family von Merxheim’s hands as a Ganerbschaft (a kind of condominium). In 1382, part of the village and the court found its way into the hands of Waldgraves Otto and Friedrich at Kyrburg. In 1461, “Fust” von Stromberg acquired his cousin Syffryt von Stromberg’s fief.
The German blazon reads: Schild, von oben links nach unten rechts sechsmal von Gold und Rot schräggeteilt, belegt mit einem silbernen Burgturm mit blauem Dach und zwei blauen Fenstern. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Bendy of six Or and gules, a castle argent with roofs and windows azure. The castle is, of course, the local one, the Brucher Burg, and the diagonal-stripe pattern (“bendy”) was the arms borne by the noble Lords of Bruch, who lived at the castle, their family seat, in the first half of the 12th century. Bruch was granted the right to bear its own arms in 1983.
The current coat of arms of the Republic of Austria has been in use in its first forms by the First Republic of Austria since 1919. Between 1934 and the German annexation in 1938, the Federal State (Bundesstaat Österreich) used a different coat of arms, which consisted of a double-headed eagle (one-party corporate state led by the clerico-right-wing Fatherland Front). The establishment of the Second Republic in 1945 saw the return of the original arms, with broken chains added to symbolise Austria's liberation. In 1981 the Wappen der Republik Österreich (Bundeswappen) described the blazon in the Federal Constitutional Law (Austrian act) (Bundes-Verfassungsgesetz, B-VG).
The blazon of the coat of arms is described in Bahamas law:FLAGS AND COAT OF ARMS (REGULATION) Arms: Upon a representation of the Santa Maria on a base barry wavy of four Azure and Argent on a Chief Azure demisun Or. Crest: Upon a representation of Our Royal Helmet mantled Azure doubled Argent on a Wreath Or and Azure. A Conch Shell proper in front of a Panache of Palm Fronds proper. Supporters: On the dexter side a Marlin proper and on the sinister side a Flamingo proper; and upon a Compartment per pale Waves of the Sea and Swampland proper. Motto: “Forward, Upward, Onward Together”.
The current coat of arms of Bahrain is a coat of arms that was originally designed in 1932 by Charles Belgrave, the British governor and adviser to the then-Sheik of Bahrain. The design has undergone slight modifications since then, namely in 1971 in 2002 when mantling and the indentations of the chief were modified respectively, but the influence of the original design is still clearly visible in the modern blazon. The arms act as a governmental and national symbol in addition to being the personal arms of the king; only the king, however, may display the royal crown ensigning the coat of arms.
The German blazon reads thus: In Silber auf grünem Dreiberg zwei grüne Ähren schrägrechts und -links gelegt, bewinkelt von drei roten Mohnkapseln.Coat of arms at municipality’s official webpage The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Argent, in base a mount of three vert issuant from the top of which two ears of wheat, one bendwise, the other bendwise sinister of the same, between three poppy bolls palewise slipped gules, one and two. These arms appear on the municipality's own website. Heraldry of the World, however, shows slightly different arms, with the same charges, but with the ears’ and bolls’ tinctures transposed.
The German blazon reads: In Silber auf grünem Dreiberg ein grüner belaubter Eichbaum. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Argent in base a trimount upon which an oaktree, both vert. These are canting arms and they are rooted in the village's history. The village of Neu-Bamberg and its castle originally bore the name Neu-Baumburg ("New Tree Castle") as against the other castle, Baumburg ("Tree Castle"), which stood roughly an hour's ride away on the River Alsenz, and which had likewise been built by the Raugraves in the 12th century, only to be named later Alt-Baumburg ("Old Tree Castle").
The German blazon reads: Über goldenem Schildfuß, darin ein roter Balken über drei roten Schindeln, von Rot und Silber gespalten. Vorne ein silberner Schrägbalken belegt mit drei roten Rosen, hinten ein roter Burgturm mit Krüppelwalmdach. House of Hunolstein arms The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per pale gules a bend argent with three roses of the field and argent a castle tower with half-hip roof of the first, the base Or with fess above three billets of the first. Appearing as a witness as early as 1075 in a document from Archbishop Udo of Trier was a man named Albert von Merkedesheim.
The German blazon reads: Von silbernem Schildhaupt, darin ein blaues Schwert, durch Zinnenschnitt mit vier Zinnen geteilt, unten in Rot ein blauer Reichsapfel, gold gerandet mit goldenem Tatzenkreuz. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Gules an Imperial orb azure encircled Or and ensigned with a cross pattée of the same, on a chief embattled of four argent a sword of the second hilted and pommelled of the third. In 1340, Archbishops Heinrich of Mainz and Baldwin of Trier built a castle as a defence against Waldgrave Johann of Dhaun, to put the Nahe valley off limits to him. This stronghold was called the “Martinstein”.
The German blazon reads: Im Schild in Rot ein silberner Wellenschrägbalken, begleitet vorne von einem silbernen sechsspeichigen Rad, hinten von einer silbernen Kapelle. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Gules a bend wavy between in dexter base a wheel spoked of six and in sinister chief a chapel, all argent. The wavy bend (slanted stripe) symbolizes the long Hoxbach and Gaulsbach valley, on which the village lies. The charge on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side, the chapel, is the village church, which was built towards the end of the 15th century, expanded in the 16th century and renovated in 1954.
The German blazon reads: In gespaltenem Schild, vorne blau-golden geschacht, hinten in Rot ein silberner Burgturm. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per pale countercompony of azure and Or and gules a tower argent. The countercompony (that is, with two chequered bands) pattern on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side is a reference to the village's former allegiance to the Counts of Sponheim, Amt of Koppenstein. The castle tower on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side shows the Alteburg in the tinctures borne by the Lords of Steinkallenfels (High Court of Kellenbach), to whom the village formerly belonged.
In 1975, a version of the badge (on a roundel rather than a shield) was granted by the College of Arms to the Football League for licensing to the club. The badge was described in heraldic blazon as, "On a roundel paly of thirteen argent and azure a mistle thrush perched on a raspberry branch leaved and fructed proper." This is the only known occasion on which the branch has been described as a raspberry branch rather than a hawthorn branch: Rodney Dennys, the officer of arms responsible, may have been imperfectly briefed. The badge was re-designed in 2006, incorporating the name of the club for the first time.
The bend charged with the alerions, taken from the arms of Lorraine, is representative of World War I service and is red to indicate that the 107th Cavalry served as field artillery during World War I. The Roman Sword in sheath is for Spanish–American War service and the cactus for Mexican Border duty. Background: The coat of arms was originally approved for the 107th Cavalry Regiment, Ohio National Guard on 8 March 1927. It was amended to correct the wording of the blazon of the shield on 17 June 1927. It was redesignated for the 107th Armored Cavalry Regiment, Ohio National Guard on 15 January 1952.
The community's arms might be described thus: Gules a crown with two arches pearled ensigned with a cross Or, the whole surmounted by the letter W argent. Although the example in this article appears purple (which would be “purpure” in English heraldry), the German blazon clearly states In Rot… (that is, “In red…”). Hence, the word “gules” has been used above. The arms come from an emblem from 1755 that was on the parish church's façade. The crown and the W refer to the community's former names of Königswallstadt (“King’s Wallstadt”) and Wallstadt Regis (the same, regis being the Latin genitive of rex – “king”).
Standard of the Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan The Standard of the Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan is a viceregal representative of the monarch of Canada and thus has precedence over any other flag except the Queen's Canadian Royal Standard and the Personnel Standard of the Governor General of Canada, unless the Governor General is a guest of the Lieutenant Governor. This flag is flown at the home and office of the Lieutenant Governor as well as any buildings that may conduct official duties. It is blazon Azure the shield of Arms of the Province of Saskatchewan ensigned with the Royal Crown proper and encircled by a wreath of maple leaves Or.
The German blazon reads: Durch aufsteigende, eingebogene grüne Spitze, darin eine goldene Traube, gespalten; vorne in Schwarz drei goldene Spitzbogenfenster, darunter goldener Wellenbalken; hinten in Silber rotes griechisches Doppelkreuz. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Tierced in mantle, dexter sable three ogival windows in fess under which a fess wavy Or, sinister argent a cross patriarchal gules, in base vert a bunch of grapes slipped of the second. The charge on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side refers to the picturesque ruin across the Moselle from the village, on the right bank. It is what is left of the Stuben Augustinian Convent.
The German blazon reads: Im geteilten Schild, oben in Silber ein rotes Balkenkreuz, unten in Rot ein schwarzbewehrter und -gezungter wachsender goldener Löwe. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: In the divided shield, in the top in silver a red cross of a beam, below in red a gold-plated and black-growing growing lion. The red cross refers to the municipality's former allegiance to the Archbishopric of Trier (but not the Electorate of Trier) and its continued status as part of the Diocese of Trier. As early as 1220, the parish of Lütz appeared in a directory of the archiepiscopal revenues.
The German blazon reads: Das Wappen wird durch eine gestürzte Spitze gespalten. Darin in Rot drei Steine. Vorne in Rot eine goldene Rose, hinten in Grün ein silberner Korb mit fünf goldenen Ähren. The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per pile embowed, gules a rose Or, argent three stones, one and two, of the first, and vert a basket of the third issuant from which five ears of wheat of the second. The charge in chief, the three stones, refer to the church’s patron saint, Stephen, who along with Saint Peter has been mentioned as patron saint since 1680.
Armorial bearings were granted to the borough by the College of Arms on 19 April 1904. The blazon was as follows:A C Fox-Davies, The Book of Public Arms, 2nd edition, London, 1915 Quarterly gules and azure, on a fesse wavy argent three ravens volant paroper, between in the first quarter two branches of broom slipped of the third, in the second a sun in splendour, in the third an escallop shell or, and in the fourth a horse forcene argent. Crest: On a wreath of the colours, upon two bars wavy azure and argent, an escalllop shell as in the arms, between two branches of broom proper. The sprigs of broom were in allusion to the name "Bromley".

The city arms with unofficial angel supporters from a 1903 cigarette card The city council's arms consist of a red shield featuring a silver-domed castle above a royal lion. The blazon of the arms is: > Gules, a castle triple-towered and domed Argent; in base a lion passant > guardant Or. The arms appeared on a 15th-century seal and were confirmed during a heraldic visitation in 1562 by William Harvey, Clarenceux King of Arms. According to Wilfrid Scott-Giles, the royal lion was said to have been granted by Edward III. By the 19th century the city corporation had added supporters to the arms—two angels—which were surmounted by a fur cap.
The coat of arms, granted in 1978, displays the so-called virgin eagle (or harpy), which was the heraldic animal of the Cirksena family, a local clan providing East Frisian chieftains during the Middle Ages. The acorns in the arms are symbols of the city of Aurich and the six-pointed spurs are symbols of Norden. The blazon is: "party per pale Azure and Gules, a harpy gardant Argent, above shoulders two six-pointed mullets Argent, below wings two acorns inverted Argent". The former coat of arms, granted in 1950, shows a golden oak tree, representing the , a tree outside the city of Aurich under which free Frisians gathered for their yearly council meetings.
The formal description, or blazon, of the arms is: For the arms: Vert on a Bend Argent a Bendlet wavy Azure on a Chief Or a Pale between two Cog-Wheels Azure on the Pale a Pascal Lamb supporting a Staff Or flying therefrom a forked Pennon Argent charged with a Cross Gules; and for the crest: On a Wreath of the Colours a Ram's Head affronty couped Argent armed Or gorged with a Mural Crown Sable masoned Argent; and for the supporters: On either side a Lion rampant guardant Purpure resting the inner hind leg on a Cross Crosslet Or embellished in each of the four angles with a Fleur de Lis Azure; Motto: 'TOGETHER WE SERVE'.
Altendorf's arms might heraldically be described thus: Under the chief gules, therein a key argent per fess the bit downturned, in Or a horse trippant sable. The German blazon, however, does not mention that the horse is trippant (standing with one forefoot raised), nor does it mention that the key's bit is downturned, but the arms are usually so executed. The black horse is already seen on a silver coin found in the lands settled by the Celts and believed to have been struck about 80 BC. The silver key in the chief (band at the top of a coat of arms) refers to the connection to the old noble family of Schlüsselberg (“Schlüssel” literally means “key” in German).
Arms of Leonard Chamberlayne: Argent a chevron between three fylfots gules—drawn from the blazon given in MS. Harleian, 1394 In modern heraldry texts the fylfot is typically shown with truncated limbs, rather like a cross potent that's had one arm of each T cut off. It's also known as a cross cramponned, ~nnée, or ~nny, as each arm resembles a crampon or angle-iron (compare Winkelmaßkreuz in German). Examples of fylfots in heraldry are extremely rare, and the charge is not mentioned in Oswald Barron's article on "Heraldry" in most 20th-century editions of Encyclopædia Britannica. A twentieth-century example (with four heraldic roses) can be seen in the Lotta Svärd emblem.
The Vice President's flag is defined in : Attached to the order were illustrations of the seal and flag, and also a set of "specifications" for the flag, which defines more precise colors for the elements than does the blazon (written description) of the coat of arms:Executive Order 11884 The design of the eagle is basically identical to that in the presidential flag. Other than a slightly shorter central tail feather, which was perhaps inadvertent, all of the differences are in coloration. The written design specifies silver gray for the clouds and stars above the eagle's head, the scroll, and the arrows; these are "proper" (i.e. naturally colored), argent, white, and proper respectively in the President's seal and flag.
The German blazon reads: In gespaltenem Schild rechts zwölffach von Silber und Blau unterteilt, links in Schwarz ein goldener Ginsterzweig. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per pale barry of twelve argent and azure and sable a broom twig slipped palewise Or. The barry pattern on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side is drawn from the arms once borne by the Lords of Boxberg, who had holdings in Ginsweiler during the Middle Ages, and the tinctures come from those once borne by the Counts of Veldenz. The charge on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side, the broom twig, is canting for the village's name. “Broom” is Ginster in German.
The German blazon reads: In Grün ein silberner Schräglinkswellenbalken, oben rechts eine goldene Lyra, unten links ein goldenes Ährenbüschel (Wiesenlolch) The municipality's arms might be rendered into the Norman French employed in English heraldic language as: Vert a bend sinister wavy argent, between a lyre or, and a rye-grass tussock, bendwise sinister of the last, issuant from the base. The arms were designed in 1967 with the help of then schoolteacher Straßenberg and the Speyer State Archives. The bend sinister wavy (diagonal wavy stripe) and the ryegrass tussock are both canting charges chosen for their allusion to the municipality's name (see above under Name). The golden lyre represents Jettenbach's past as one of the centres in the Musikantenland.
The German blazon reads: '''' The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per fess abased argent a dragon sans hind gambes rampant azure armed and langued gules, issuant from his mouth fire proper, and sable a hammer and pick per saltire Or. The tinctures that have been used are a reference to the village’s former lordly allegiances. The hammer and pick refer to the mining that was once done within the municipal limits. The dragon charge is supposedly drawn from an old municipal seal. The arms have been borne since 15 March 1984 when they were approved by the now defunct Rheinhessen-Pfalz Regierungsbezirk administration in Neustadt an der Weinstraße.
Nanzdiezweiler's arms Nanzdietschweiler's arms The German blazon reads: '''' The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: A pale wavy argent between azure an endorse of the first and sable a lion rampant Or armed and langued gules. The arms were approved by the Rheinhessen-Pfalz Regierungsbezirk administration in Neustadt an der Weinstraße on 26 February 1980. The charge on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side is drawn from the arms once borne by Electoral Palatinate, which was once Nanzdiezweiler's overlord. The silver endorse (a slim variant of a pale) on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side refers to the Counts of Leyen, to whom Dietschweiler and Nanzweiler once belonged.
The German blazon reads: In Gold ein gesenkter blauer Wellenbalken, belegt mit einem linksgewendeten silbernen Fisch, daraus hervorwachsend ein schwarzes Mühlrad, beseitet von je einer roten Spindel. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Or a fess abased wavy azure surmounted by a fish sinister argent and issuant from which a waterwheel spoked of four sable between in chief two spindles gules. The tinctures match those borne by Oberweiler-Tiefenbach's former lords, Electoral Palatinate and Palatinate- Zweibrücken. The wavy fess (horizontal stripe) is meant to stand for the river Lauter, which flows by both the municipality's centres, and the fish refers to the wealth of fish once found in it.
The German blazon reads: In silbern vor rot gespaltenem Schilde vorn ein rotes Balkenkreuz, hinten ein goldener Schlüssel mit abgewendetem Bart. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per pale, argent a cross gules and gules a key palewise, the wards to chief and sinister, Or. The cross on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side stands for the old Electorate of Trier, while the key on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side stands for the parish's patron saint, Peter. The arms have been borne since 7 August 1961, when they were approved by the Rhineland- Palatinate Ministry of the Interior.Description and explanation of Berndorf’s arms : Click on Wappen.
The German blazon reads: 'Ortsgemeinde Hinterweiler: Ortsinformation The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per fess abased embowed, argent a demi-eagle sable armed and langued gules and vert a millstone of the first surmounted by three ears of wheat radiating from the hole Or. The parting is meant to represent a mountain, the nearly 700 m-high Ernstberg. The charge below the line of partition, the millstone, represents the former millstone quarry at the foot of this mountain. The three ears of wheat stand for what was for centuries the village's main livelihood: agriculture. The eagle is Saint John the Evangelist's attribute, thus representing the municipality's and the church's patron saint.
The German blazon reads: Von Silber und Blau schräglinks geteilt; oben ein rotes Antoniuskreuz mit 2 Glöckchen unten 3 (1:1:1) silberne Fische. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per bend sinister argent a cross tau, hanging from each arm a bell, gules, and azure three fish fesswise in bend sinister of the first. The T-shaped cross is Saint Anthony’s attribute, and is thus a reference to the village’s and the church’s patron saint. It is shown here with two bells, a bell also being one of Saint Anthony’s attributes. The three fish stand for the three Electoral fishing ponds within Ellscheid’s limits (Mürmesweiher, Finkenweiher and Mittelweiher).
The German blazon reads: In Grün über einem goldenen Berg, darin eine blaue Urne, eine links gewendete goldene Hirtenschaufel. The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Vert a herdsman’s shovel bendwise sinister Or, in base a mount of the second charged with an urn azure. The “mount” in the base of the escutcheon refers to the barrows found in Gelenberg and is also a canting charge for the placename ending —berg (German for “mountain”). The urn also refers to the prehistoric finds made here. The herdsman’s shovel is a reference to the locally venerated saint, Wendelin of Trier, and the field tincture vert (green) stands for the village’s centuries-old agricultural character.
The German blazon reads: Im von Schwarz über Silber geteilten Schild oben ein rotweiß geschachter Schrägrechtsbalken, unten eine blaue Axt mit Beil gekreuzt. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per fess sable a bend counter-compony argent and gules, and argent an axe and a hatchet per saltire azure, both helved of the first, the axe in bend surmounting the hatchet. The bend (slanted stripe) with the checkerboard pattern above the line of partition is the charge borne by the Cistercian order, who held the convent founded by Ludwig von Deudesfeld. The tools below the line of partition stand for the municipality's longtime patrons, the Apostles Simon and Jude; their attributes are carpentry tools.
The German blazon reads: Unter rotem Schildhaupt, darin ein goldener Zickzackbalken, schräg links von Silber und Rot geteilt; vorn ein schwarzes Rost, hinten eine doppelblättrige, goldene Rose mit rotem Butzen. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per bend sinister argent a gridiron bendwise sinister sable and gules a rose with petals doubled Or seeded of the field, in a chief of the third a bar dancetty of three of the fourth. The narrow zigzag stripe (“bar dancetty”) stands for the centuries through which the Counts of Manderscheid held sway in Dockweiler. The gridiron is Saint Lawrence’s attribute, and as such symbolizes the church's and the municipality's patron saint.
The German blazon reads: In Silber eine blaue, von je einem sechsstrahligen blauen Stern flankierte Spitze; in der Spitze ein aufrechtes, silbernes Flammenschwert mit goldenem Griff. The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Argent two mullets azure in chief flanking a pile transposed of the same charged with a sword raguly of the field hilted Or. The landscape of Steffeln was until 1968 defined by the 600 m-high Steffelskopf, which has now mostly been quarried away. The “pile transposed” (that is, the wedge-shaped charge) stands for this now vanished, cone-shaped mountain. The sword with the flame-shaped blade is Saint Michael's attribute, thus representing the municipality's and the church's patron saint.
The German blazon reads: In Silber eine grüne Spitze, darin 3 silberne Steine, vorne ein rotes Schwert, hinten eine rote Taube. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Argent a pile transposed throughout vert charged with three stones of the field, one resting on the other two, dexter a sword palewise gules, the hilt to chief, and sinister a dove of the last. The “pile transposed” (that is, the wedge-shaped charge) stands for the Steineberger Ley, the 560 m-high volcanic cone that defines the local scenery. On this mountain, the Celts built a defensive wall out of basalt stones and logs that served the local people as a refuge castle.
As one can see in the accompanying picture, it consists of two divided quarters. In one, the Teide appears over a field of blue; in the other, the Drago is over a field of silver. The blazon is encircled by eight clusters of golden grapes over a field of sinople (2). Four tenantes (3) symbolize the history of the island's conquest upon evoking a change of impressions between the menceyes Belicar de Icod, Rosmeu de Daute, Pelinor de Adeje, and Adjoña de Abona, with the aim of ending their valiant resistance against the Spanish troops which had already triumphed at two crucial points in the present-day areas of La Victoria de Acentejo and Los Realejos.
The municipality's website devotes a great deal of text to explaining the charges in its arms, but unfortunately, this does not include a blazon. The red and silver fields refer to the village's former allegiance to the “Hinder” County of Sponheim, which beginning in the 14th century was the local landholder. The three gold ears of wheat stand for the three watermills that ran within Gödenroth's municipal limits in the Deimerbach valley until 1949, and also for the municipality's character, which is still agricultural today. The building standing as a charge in the arms is the old 18th-century town hall, which was dismantled and reassembled at the “Roscheider Hof” open-air museum near Konz.
From the early 14th century, Todenroth is witnessed as a holding of the Counts of Sponheim. The tinctures azure and Or (blue and gold), which were the ones borne in the Counts’ “chequy” coat of arms, are a reference to the village's former allegiance to the “Further” County of Sponheim. The church on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side refers to the one that towers over the village. The ears of rye (called simply Ähren in the German blazon, or “ears”, but in English heraldry, at least, would be held to be rye because the ears droopJames Parker on heraldic grains) on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side refer to the municipality's former agricultural character.
The German blazon reads: In silbernem Schild, über grünem Hügel (Dreiberg) ein rotes zinnengekröntes Burghaus mit 5 Fenstern und 2 Schießscharten, über dem Tor mit Fallgitter, in silbernem Schildchen ein rotes Kreuz. The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Argent in base a mount of three vert, above which a castle house embattled of six gules with five windows in fess of the field and two arrowslits, one each side of a gateway with half-open portcullis, above which an escutcheon of the field charged with a cross of the third. The main charge in these arms refers to the municipality’s name, and is thus canting. “Castle” in German is "Burg".
The German blazon reads: In gespaltenem Schild vorne in Gold ein blaubewehrter und -gezungter roter Löwe. Hinten ein silberner Wellenbalken begleitet oben in Grün von einer silbernen Ruine mit einem Fenster, unten in Schwarz von einer silbernen Schnalle. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per pale Or a lion rampant sinister gules armed and langued azure and a fess wavy argent between vert a ruin of the fourth with a window of the field and sable an arming buckle of the fourth. The charge on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side, the lion, is a reference to the village's former allegiance to the Waldgravial and Rhinegravial Court of Hausen.
The German blazon reads: Durch grünen Wellenschrägbalken geteilt; oben von Gold und Blau geschacht, unten von Silber und Rot geschacht. The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: A bend wavy vert between chequy of twenty argent and gules and chequy of twenty Or and azure. The two “chequy” fields of gold and blue and of silver and red are drawn from the arms formerly borne by the two counties under whose lordship Dillendorf once lay, the County of Sponheim-Kreuznach (or the “Further” County of Sponheim) and the County of Sponheim-Starkenburg (or the “Hinder” County of Sponheim). The boundary between these mediaeval counties was the Kyrbach, which flows through the village.
The German blazon reads: Schräglinks geteilt, vorne in rot unter einem achtspeichigen goldenen Mühlrad ein silberner Wellenbalken, hinten blau-goldenes Schach, belegt mit einer Abtskrümme rot-silber wechselnd. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per bend sinister gules a waterwheel spoked of eight Or above a fess wavy abased argent and chequy of thirty of the second and azure surmounted by an abbot's staff sinister issuant from base sinister counterchanged, of the first on the second and of the third on the fourth. The “chequy” pattern on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side refers to the former mediaeval landholders, the Counts of Sponheim. Kludenbach was part of the Sponheim Amt of Kirchberg.
Air Force Combat Units of World War II, p.210 Landscape fields are regarded by many heralds as unheraldic and debased, as they defy the heraldic ideal of simple, boldly- coloured images, and they cannot be consistently drawn from blazon. The arms of the Inveraray and District Community Council in Scotland have as a field In waves of the sea. The correct language of heraldry is very flexible and virtually any image may be blazoned in a correct manner, for example "sky proper" might be blazoned simply Azure or bleu celeste, whilst "waves of the sea" might be blazoned correctly as Azure, 3 bars argent which would provide 3 wavy thick white lines on a blue field.
The German blazon reads: '''' The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Tierced in mantle dexter bendy paly lozengy sinister argent and azure, sinister sable a lion rampant Or armed and langued gules, and in base argent a baptismal font of the third above an arc of four oakleaves palewise vert. The Wittelsbach lozenges on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side and the Palatine Lion on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side refer to the village's former allegiance to the Duchy of Simmern and Electoral Palatinate.

Upon the departure of Moti and Finlay, Kasparek recruited guitarist Axel Morgan and drummer Rudiger Dreffein (better known as "AC") to record the band's first album in two years, Blazon Stone, released in 1991.

In England, for example, the granting of arms is and has been controlled by the College of Arms. Unlike seals and other general emblems, heraldic "achievements" have a formal description called a blazon, which uses vocabulary that allows for consistency in heraldic depictions. In the present day, coats of arms are still in use by a variety of institutions and individuals: for example, many European cities and universities have guidelines on how their coats of arms may be used, and protect their use as trademarks.
