DEU Weißensee district COA (Germany) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt showcases the historic coat of arms of the former Weißensee district of Berlin, Germany. The central focus is a striking heraldic design steeped in history and symbolism.
Shield & Central Imagery
The primary element is the silver (argent) shield. At its heart lies a bold representation of a red, six-spoked "Richtrad," or execution wheel, a poignant symbol. This wheel is meticulously detailed with fourteen curved iron-blue knives, adding a layer of visual complexity.
Piercing through the wheel is an inverted executioner's sword. The sword is rendered in steel-colored tones, providing contrast to the wheel, while the hilt gleams with a touch of gold.
Additional Elements
The shield is surmounted by a vibrant red mural crown. This stylized crown is shaped like a city wall and features three towers. The central tower is adorned with a smaller shield, bearing the emblem of the city of Berlin, visually linking Weißensee's identity to the larger capital city.
Symbolism & Meaning
The wheel and sword directly reference Saint Catherine of Alexandria, a figure traditionally associated with these instruments of martyrdom. The design pays homage to an altar painting of Saint Catherine found within Weißensee.
The inclusion of the red mural crown, topped with the Berlin emblem, clearly signifies Weißensee’s former status as a district within the city of Berlin, reflecting its administrative history until 2000.
