Wappen Landkreis Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen (Germany) Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie showcases the official coat of arms (Wappen) of the Landkreis Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen, a district in Bavaria, Germany. The design is a vibrant representation of the region's rich history, displayed across the chest.
Shield Composition
The coat of arms is presented in a classic shield format, divided into three distinct sections, each contributing to the overall symbolism.
Detailed Design Elements
The base of the shield features an intricate pattern known as "Eisenhutfeh." This design is composed of silver (white) and blue bell-hut shapes, a direct reference to the Counts of Pappenheim, who historically held dominion over lands now part of the district.
On the viewer's left, three horizontal stripes alternate between red and gold (yellow). These stripes symbolize the former district of Gunzenhausen and pay homage to the Markgrafen von Brandenburg-Ansbach and the Counts of Truhendingen, important historical figures in the region.
The right side of the shield is dominated by a half black eagle, set against a gold (yellow) field. This heraldic eagle, facing towards the center, is a nod to the former Imperial Free City of Weißenburg (Reichsstadt Weißenburg), now an integral part of the district. The eagle's red claws add a further touch of regal detail.
Symbolism and Meaning
The design as a whole is a symbolic tapestry, intertwining the histories of the key territories that make up the Landkreis Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen. Each element contributes to a narrative of heritage and the union of these historical areas into a single modern district. The coat of arms, brought into use in 1976, serves as a visual reminder of the region’s past.
