Saint George has two roles in this setting. He is charge for the coat of arms of the city of Bamberg and Supporter for the coat of arms of the counts of Andechs-Merania.
Historyedit
First uses of the coat of arms in form of a seal are known since 1279. Across the years the charge changed: in the 14th century it was Heinrich II. Whereas in 15th and 16th century the "Bamberger Löwe" can be found, before again Saint George was used again. Also in the shield the eagle was replaced by a lion or the shield was missing completely.[1]
