The crowned head as symbol for the diocese appears for the first time on the seals of Bishop Emicho in 1285 in a small shield at the base of his seal. As colours are not known, it is unclear whether it is really a Moor's head. The Moor is often identified as the patron saint of the diocese, St. Corbinian, however, he was not black and all old images of the saint used by the bishops, showed him facing not en profil. He is also never shown with a crown. | The crowned head as symbol for the diocese appears for the first time on the seals of Bishop Emicho in 1285 in a small shield at the base of his seal.
