- (de) Der Schild im unteren Drittel geteilt, oben gespalten. Vorn dreimal von Rot und Silber gespalten, hinten auf Blau ein schreitendes, rückschauendes, silbernes Lamm mit Sonnenimbus. Im Schildfuß auf Schwarz drei goldene Pilgermuscheln. Kreuz pfahlweise in der Mitte hinter dem Schild. Wappenspruch: TESTIFICARI EVANGELIUM GRATIAE DEI
Origin/meaning
The first quarter is based on the arms of the Diocese of Augsburg, and typically used by the auxiliary bishops of the diocese. The second quarter shows the Augnus Dei, symbol of St. John Baptist, the patron saint of the bishop.
The base shows three scallops, symbol for the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. The bishop has been the chairman of the society of pilgrims for many years. The cross behind the shield also refers to this, being the Cross of Caravaca in Spain.
The motto also refers to the Agnus Dei.
