DEU Landkreis Erding COA Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie showcases the official coat of arms of Landkreis Erding, a district in Bavaria, Germany, rendered in a striking heraldic style.
Central Design: The Red Horse
The dominant element of the design is a majestic red (gules) horse, depicted in a rearing (rampant) position. This dynamic symbol represents a historic characteristic of the Erding district: its long-standing association with horses, having once been the most horse-rich region in Bavaria. The horse's hooves are rendered in gold (or), providing a brilliant contrast and accentuating the power and grace of the animal. It also echoes the emblem of the Counts of Haag, also known as the Fraunberger family, who used a horse as their symbol. The background upon which the horse is displayed is in a clean silver (argent) field, providing optimal visibility.
Bavarian Influence: The Chief
Above the red horse, in the "chief" (upper section) of the design, the hoodie features the iconic pattern of white and blue lozenges, known as "bendy lozengy argent and azure." This pattern directly references the Free State of Bavaria, signifying the district's allegiance and connection to the region. This element adds a strong regional identity to the design.
Symbolic Significance
The design as a whole is a powerful blend of heraldic traditions and local history. The red horse, a symbol of strength and heritage, is prominently displayed, communicating the district's equine past. The Bavarian chief anchors the design firmly within its geographic context, proclaiming its roots and identity. The use of silver (white) provides a clear and visually appealing base, highlighting the vibrant horse and Bavarian pattern. The overall design offers a proud display of the Landkreis Erding coat of arms, a symbol of history, tradition, and regional pride.
