Panzergrenadierbrigade 5 Coat of Arms Sticker - Design Overview

This sticker presents the striking coat of arms of the Panzergrenadierbrigade 5 of the German Bundeswehr, a design rich in symbolism and historical connection. The central visual element is a shield, meticulously divided into two vertical halves.

Color & Division

The left side of the shield is rendered in a bright silver (argent), while the right side blazes with a vibrant red (gules). This color scheme directly references the flag of the state of Hesse, reflecting the brigade's geographical location in northern Hesse / southern Lower Saxony.

The Counter-Colored Lion

At the heart of the design is a powerful lion, its form "rising" or "rampant" within the shield. The lion's coloration is a unique feature of heraldic "counter-changing": the half of the lion that appears on the silver side is red, mirroring the red half of the shield; the half on the red side of the shield is silver, mirroring the silver half of the shield. This creates a dynamic and visually arresting effect.

The Red Border

Framing the shield is a prominent red border. This border served a specific purpose within the divisional structure, signifying Panzergrenadierbrigade 5 as the second brigade within its parent division. This red border distinguished it from other brigade badges which would use a white border (1st brigade) and a yellow border (3rd brigade).

Symbolism & Heritage

The overall design is steeped in meaning. The lion motif is reminiscent of the "Hessenlöwe" (Lion of Hesse), drawn from the historical Ludowinger family and the Hessian state arms, representing the unit's connection to the region. The color choices of the shield and border reflect the unit's ties to the region and its place within the broader military structure.

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.
