message: It is really very simple: 1) federal is connotated to the federal state while Germany consists of (federated) states having theirselves a coat of arms. 2) the second reason (see below) is a historical one to distinguish federal (Bundes-) from imperial (Reichs-). 
I'm not feeling remarkably bright today, can anyone explain why this page shouldn't be "Coat of Arms of Germany" rather than "Federal ..." - no other country here has "Federal ...". The German name doesn't incorporate "federal" (Bundes-). Saintswithin 09:40, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: de:Wappen Deutschlands can stay as it is, because on the German Wikipedia, the coat of arms of Britain is also called :de:Wappen des Vereinigten Königreichs, not "Königliches Wappen des Vereinigten Königreichs". -Heimdal 10:25, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: So you think the main thing is to be consistent on each language site? Should we change Canada's one to Federal Coat of Arms of Canada, or is that a different sort of federation? (Don't kick me, I have no idea!!) :-) Saintswithin 13:05, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

text: BTW, Bundes- is sometimes used to refer to the post-war German democracy, that is, to mean today's German as opposed to earlier governments, and during the Cold War to mean West Germany, which Germans called colloquially the "federal republic." Bostoner (talk) 01:11, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: "Coats of arms of Germany" could be understood to include the coats of arms of our 16 states as well, not just those of the Federation (der Bund). As we got the word "Bundes-" (Federal) almost everywhere in Germany when we talk about something that belongs to the Federal level, I think it would be appropriate to include the word "Federal" in this place as well. We already got a Federal Diet, a Federal Chancellor, a Federal Eagle, a Federal Council, a President of the Federal Diet, a President of the Federal Council, a Federal President, a Federal Police, several Federal Ministries, several Federal Ministers, the Federal Forces, a Federal Network Agency, a Federal Constitution Court, a Federal Central Bank, Federal Law, Federal Highways, a Federal Government, Federal Elections, a Federal Trojan and a Federal Flag, so it would only make sense to speak of a "Federal Coat of arms". -- 62.156.56.92 (talk) 07:39, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

message: Referring to Friedrich Ebert as "Imperial President of the German Empire" is a ridiculous abuse of the word "imperial". The Weimar Republic was not an empire. The proper translation of the 1919 proclamation regarding the Coat of Arms of Germany is federal (as opposed to state level), not imperial. Urban XII (talk) 11:33, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Quite right, but a lot of English speaking people don't understand (and probably will never) that the German word "Reich" cannot be translated as "Empire" after the year 1918 (End of the period of the "Empire" in Germany). See those numerous discussions on the Nazi-Germany article.--Gomeira (talk) 09:54, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: "Imperial"

message: I replaced the text
The Weimar Republic had re-introduced the medieval coat of arms of the Holy Roman Emperors, in use during the 13th and 14th centuries, before the emperors adopted the double-headed eagle, beginning with Sigismund of Luxemburg in 1433. The single-headed Imperial Eagle (on a white background, Argent, an eagle displayed sable) had also been used by the German Empire during 1889–1918, based on the earlier coat of arms of Prussia.
With:
The German Empire of 1871-1918 had re-introduced the medieval coat of arms of the Holy Roman Emperors, in use during the 13th and 14th centuries (a black single-headed eagle on a golden background), before the emperors adopted the double-headed eagle, beginning with Sigismund of Luxemburg in 1433. The single-headed Prussian Eagle (on a white background, Argent, an eagle displayed sable) was used as an escutcheon to represent the Prussian Kings as dynasts of the German Empire. The Weimar Republic introduced a version in which the escutcheon and other monarchical symbols were removed.
because
The German Empire in 1871 used a single headed eagle on a golden background in its greater Imperial arms. The Weimar arms are a direct descandant of that. The single headed eagle on a silver or white background represent the arms of Prussia and not of Germany as a whole. They were an inschutcheon on the eagle in the Imperial arms to represent the Prussian Kings as dynasts of the German Empire. Gerard von Hebel (talk) 15:29, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Or, an eagle displayed sable 

message: The article states that the use of the Nazi eagle was established by an order by Hitler, but doesn't cover the distinctive design elements of it at all, or who was responsible for creating it. It needs to. 86.140.187.38 (talk) 17:25, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: As I've heard, Hitler himself was somewhat of an 'amateur' heraldic designer. I know that he personally designed the standard of the "Führer und Reichskanzler" i.o.w. himself. It wouldn't surprise me if the answer to this question was: "Hitler". Gerard von Hebel (talk) 19:30, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
