Apply for the use of coats of arms

A coat of arms is a symbol in the form of a shield, created according to specific rules. Coats of arms represent individuals, families, specific groups of people or personified objects, organisations and communities. Each federal state has its own coat of arms. In addition, there are the coats of arms of the local authorities.
The use of the respective coat of arms of the community requires the approval of the state or the respective local authority.
