- (de) Geviert von Silber und Rot; ein blauer Herzschild, darin das silbern gekleidete Brustbild eines Bischofs mit goldenem Pallium, an der rech ten Schulter ein aus dem unteren Schildrand ragender Krummstab; in
1 und 4 ein roter Wolf; in 2 und 3 auf grünem Dreiberg ein rotgezungter silberner Hahn, Kamn, Schnabel, Kropf und Klauen in Gold.
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.
