DEU Hessen-Nassau 1892-1944 COA (Germany) - Design Description

This striking vinyl decal presents the historic Coat of Arms (CoA) of the Prussian Province of Hesse-Nassau, a fascinating piece of German heraldry. The design showcases the official provincial emblem used from 1892 until the province's dissolution in 1944.

Visual Composition

The central element is a shield, uniquely divided into three sections by an inverted fork. This unusual partition elegantly merges the heraldic symbols of the territories that formed the province.

  • Upper Left (Dexter Chief): Features a barry lion, rendered in alternating stripes of white (argent) and red (gules). This represents the Electorate of Hesse (Hesse-Kassel).
  • Upper Right (Sinister Chief): Displays a golden lion (or) on a blue background (azure) decorated with a pattern of small gold rectangles (billety). This symbolizes the Duchy of Nassau.
  • Lower Part (Point): Presents a silver eagle (argent) on a red background (gules), representing the Free City of Frankfurt, which was incorporated into the province.

The overall composition is a powerful visual statement, a testament to the political union of these three distinct historic entities within Prussia.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design's arrangement is rich with historical significance. The coat of arms, designed by heraldist Hugo Gerard Ströhl, serves as a visual record of the province's constituent parts and their respective historical lineages. The inclusion of the Hessian lion, the Nassau lion, and the Frankfurt eagle illustrates the unique heritage and political landscape of the Province of Hesse-Nassau during the era of Prussian rule.

The design clearly communicates the historical context of the province and serves as a symbolic representation of the merged regional identities.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
