Wappen Schwaben Bayern (Germany) Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie features a striking and historically rich design, the coat of arms (Wappen) of Swabia (Schwaben), a region in Bavaria, Germany. The artwork meticulously replicates the official heraldic design adopted on October 15, 1965.
Upper Shield
The upper portion of the design presents a golden (Or) shield. Within this section, a majestic black (Sable) double-headed eagle rises in a "wachsend" or "growing" position, meaning its body is not entirely visible. The eagle is armed (talons and beak) in red (Gules) and has a golden (Or) nimbus or halo around its head. This eagle symbolizes the historical connection of Swabia to the Holy Roman Empire, representing a significant period of the region’s past.
Main Shield: Divided and Overlayed
Below the upper shield, the main shield is intricately divided and overlaid with a prominent golden (Or) vertical stripe or “pale.” The left side of the main shield is quartered, displaying a pattern of red (Gules) and silver (Argent) partitions, mirroring the symbolism of the Prince-Bishopric of Augsburg, once a significant ecclesiastical territory in the region. The right side is divided five times diagonally, creating alternating silver (Argent) and red (Gules) stripes, a representation of the historical region of Burgau, reflecting central Swabia's heritage.
Symbolism
The overall composition is designed to represent the unity and cohesion of Swabia. The golden stripe across the main shield unifies the diverse historical elements represented by the double-headed eagle, the Prince-Bishopric of Augsburg (the quartered pattern), and the historical region of Burgau (diagonal stripes). The design honors the historical territories and the rich cultural heritage of this Bavarian region.
