Regensburg Coat of Arms

Shield Gules two keys Argent in saltire.
Meaning:
The keys are an attribute of St. Peter, patron saint of the local cathedral. The first city seal, known by prints since 1211, already displayed the current pattern. The third seal from 1248 displayed the saint on a throne in a stylised cathedral with the city walls in base. The first secret seal, made before 1323, displayed him with a tiara in half length profile, the 2nd one from 1395 with additional crossed keys. The keys alone appeared since 1549 and on the main seal during the 17th century. The crossed keys are also known from the arms of the Burgraves of Regensburg as depicted in the Manesse Codex (1305), an inscription on a local monument of stone from 1320, on coins since 1366, in rolls of arms since 1398 and on banners during the 16th century.
