- (de) Unter rotem Schildhaupt mit silbernem Schrägbalken in Blau eine eingebogene silberne Spitze, überhöht von drei (1 : 2) sechszackigen goldenen Sternen. Hinter dem Schild ein goldenes Vortragskreuz, überhöht von einem grünen Pontifikalhut mit beidseitig je sechs (1 : 2 : 3) an grünen Schnüren herabhängenden grünen Quasten, darunter ein silbernes Schriftband mit dem Wahlspruch. Wir gehören dem Herrn".
Origin/meaning
The chief shows the arms of the Diocese of Regensburg.
The lower half refers to the hilly landscape in the Oberpfalz where he grew up. It also symbolises the -berg (hill) part of the name. The three stars are taken from the arms of the Neustadt an der Waldnaab district where he was born. The stars are also a symbol for St. Mary and especially top the Mariahilfberg in Amberg, a place of pilgrimage of great importance to the bishop. The blue and silver are the colours of Bayern.
