Germany Coat of Arms
The coat of arms of Germany displays a black eagle with red feet, beak and tongue on a golden field, blazoned: Or, an eagle displayed sable beaked langued and membered gules. This is the Bundesadler or "Federal Eagle", formerly the Reichsadler or "Imperial Eagle".
It is a re-introduction of the coat of arms of the Weimar Republic (in use 1919�1935) adopted by the Federal Republic of Germany in 1950.
The current official design is due to Tobias Schwab (1887�1967) and was introduced in 1928.
The German Empire of 1871�1918 had re-introduced the medieval coat of arms of the Holy Roman Emperors, in use during the 13th and 14th centuries (a black single-headed eagle on a golden background), before the emperors adopted the double-headed eagle, beginning with Sigismund of Luxemburg in 1433. The single-headed Prussian Eagle (on a white background, Argent, an eagle displayed sable) was used as an escutcheon to represent the Prussian Kings as dynasts of the German Empire. The Weimar Republic introduced a version in which the escutcheon and other monarchical symbols were removed.
