Origin/meaning
Both in Speyer as in München he quartered his personal arms with those of the (arch)diocese. His personal arms show three flames, the symbol of the Holy Ghost, and the number three refers to the holy Trinity. The colours are red for love and gold for the light of God. The colours were inverted in München due to the golden field of the arcdiocesal arms.
