Querflagge Mannheim Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie showcases the iconic Querflagge (horizontal flag) of Mannheim, Germany. The design is a bold statement of civic pride, featuring a horizontal tricolor that pays homage to the city's rich history.
Flag Elements
The primary visual element is the tricolor itself. The stripes are arranged horizontally, running from top to bottom in a sequence of blue, white, and red. This color combination has represented Mannheim since at least 1613, offering a visual legacy of centuries of civic identity.
Coat of Arms Integration
The design, if the "with coat of arms" version, places the city's distinguished coat of arms centrally on the white stripe. This shield is vertically divided (per pale). The dexter (left) side presents a golden field bearing a red wolf trap. On the sinister (right) side, a black field displays a gold, crowned, double-tailed lion with red claws and tongue.
Symbolism
The colors of the flag, distinct from the coat of arms' "livery colours," represent the city's own unique identity. The coat of arms itself speaks of Mannheim's historical ties with the Palatinate region. The wolf trap and lion are historical motifs, appearing in city seals from earlier times. The lion, a common heraldic symbol, and the wolf trap are visual reminders of the heritage and the city's establishment.
