Origin/meaning

The arms show in I and IV the arms of the Diocese of Passau and in II and II a rooster. The rooster is a canting symbol (Henle can be translated as small rooster) as well as a symbol for vigilance. The inescutcheon shows the bust of St. Valentine, the patron saint of the diocese.

After his transfer to Regensburg the arms were not changed; the symbols for Passau were not replaced by the arms of the diocese of Regensburg.
