Origin/meaning

The meaning of the fish head in the upper half is not clear, probably it is simply a representation of Christ. The lower half shows the arms of the Beuerberg abbey,, where he became initially a monk in 1792. The key and sword represent the patron saints of the abbey, St. Peter and St. Paul.
