DETAILED (MULTILINGUAL) DESCRIPTION AT THE HOLY SEE WEBSITE: of His Holiness Benedict XVI (The Holy See).
Deutsch: Der mit der bischöflichen Mitra gekrönte Schild ist in drei Felder geteilt, die spezielle heraldische Symbole tragen:
  • Links (heraldisch rechts) der
aus dem  des Erzbistum München-Freising, wo Joseph Kardinal Ratzinger Erzbischof war.
  • Rechts (heraldisch links) der Bär des Hl. Korbinian, Schutzpatron des Bistums München-Freising, aus dem Freisinger .
  • Unten (heraldisch unten) eine Jakobsmuschel, die für die Pilgerreise steht. Sie bezieht sich auf eine Legende über den Kirchenvater Augustinus. Die Muschel fand sich auch im des ehem. Schottenklosters St. Jacob in Regensburg, in dem Benedikt XVI. seine Laufbahn als Priester begann.

Hinter dem schild befinden sich die gekreuzten Schlüssel des Petrus, die für den Papst als Stellvertreter Gottes auf Erden stehen. Ein zusätzliches Element ist das Pallium, eine Art Stola, die von römisch-katholischen Metropoliten über dem Messgewand getragen wird und das in diesem Fall den Papst als Erzbischof und Metropolit von Rom kennzeichnet.

Als erster Papst der Neuzeit verzichtete Benedikt XVI. auf die Tiara im und wählte statt dessen die Bischofsmitra.

  • Right (heraldic sinister) the bear of St. Corbinian, patron saint of the diocese of Munich and Freising, from the city .
  • Below is a scallop, which stands for the pilgrimage. It refers to a legend about St. Augustine. The mussel is also found in the of Scots Monastery, Regensburg, in which Benedict XVI. began his career as a priest.
