Origin/meaning
The tower on a hill in the first quarter is a symbol of vigilance and a reference to the -berg (hill) part of his name. The second quarter shows a sowing farmer. This refers to the gospels and to his ancestry from a family of farmers. The third shows the arms of the Diocese of Regensburg. The fourth quarter, a book with eyes and a crosier, refer to St. Erhard, the second patron saint of the diocese.
