What does the shark coat of arms symbolize?

Answer 1

The German coat of arms is the Federal Eagle (Bundesadler). Its origin dates back to the Holy Roman Empire of Karl der Große (Charlemagne), a Frankish king and Roman emperor (from 800 AD to his death in 814 AD).

The eagle was the symbol of the ancient Roman Empire, and with its rebirth through Charlemagne's coronation as Emperor of the Romans by Pope Leo III on Chritmas Day 800 AD, it was adopted as the symbol of the "new" Roman empire, in order to show continuity.

The modern German coat of arms is a black eagle on gold background with red beak and talons, thereby incorporating the colours of the German flag into its design.

I got this from askville.amazon

coat of arms, more properly called an armorial achievement, armorial bearings, or often just arms for short, in European tradition, is a design belonging to a particular person (or group of people) and used by them in a wide variety of ways. Historically, they were used by knights to identify them apart from enemy soldiers. In Continental Europe, commoners were able to adopt burgher arms. Unlike seals and emblems, coats of arms have a formal description that is expressed as a blazon. In the 21st century, coats of arms are still in use by a variety of institutions and individuals (for example several universities have guidelines on how their coats of arms may be used and protect their use).
