HSchBrig 56 (Germany) (Coat of Arms) Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie prominently displays the coat of arms (Verbandsabzeichen) of the Heimatschutzbrigade 56 (HSchBrig 56), a territorial brigade of the German Bundeswehr.
Shield and Division
The design features a shield, framed by a vibrant green border. Green is a direct link to the Jäger (light infantry) branch, signifying the brigade's connection to this specialized fighting force. The shield itself is split diagonally from top left to bottom right, showcasing silver and blue halves. This division mirrors the lozengy pattern of the Bavarian flag, a nod to the brigade's location and association with the Oberbayern region.
Central Motif and Symbolism
At the heart of the design, a black escutcheon (Mittelschild) takes center stage. This smaller shield within the larger one features a golden lion, complete with a red tongue and claws, which is known as the Pfälzer Löwe (Palatine Lion). This powerful symbol is drawn from the arms of the Palatinate region, further emphasizing the brigade's heritage and connection to its operational area within Germany.
Overall Representation
The overall composition of the design elegantly balances military symbolism and regional identity. The green border highlights the brigade's Jäger affiliation, while the Bavarian-inspired background and Palatine Lion at the center root it firmly in its geographic context. The design evokes a sense of both military prowess and local pride, representing the heritage of the HSchBrig 56 and its role within the Bundeswehr during the Cold War era.
