ANTONIUS HOFMANN
Born : October 4, 1909

Bishop of Passau, 1968-1984
 First arms (1968-1977) |
 Second arms (1977-1984) |
Official blazon
- (first) Von Blau und Silber gespalten; vorne ein durchgehendes goldenes Kreuz; hinten der Passauer Wolf.
- (second) Von Gold und Silber gespalten, unten eine eingeschweifte blaue Spitze, darin ein durchgehendes goldenes Kreuz; vorne über einem grünen Dreiberg zwei schräggekreuzte schwarz gestielte silberne Hacken; hinten der Passauer Wolf.
Origin/meaning
The bishop used two arms. The first arms simply show a cross as a general symbol for Christianity, and the wolf of the Diocese of Passau.
In 1977 he changed his arms. The first half now shows two hooks, taken from the arms of Rinchnach, where he was born. The wolf of the diocese remained. The base now shows the cross.
