Wappen Essen (Germany) (Coat of Arms) Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal - Design Description

This striking decal showcases the iconic coat of arms of Essen, Germany, a symbol steeped in history and significance. The design is a sophisticated composite, a visual alliance of two distinct elements under a single, regal crown.

Visual Elements

The artwork centers around two side-by-side shields, or escutcheons. The right shield, rendered in a brilliant gold, prominently features a black double-headed eagle. This majestic eagle is depicted with a red beak and claws, adding a vibrant touch. Its imposing presence reflects the historical protection and imperial status granted to Essen.

The left shield presents a contrasting yet complementary design. It's a deep blue field, and a gleaming gold sword is prominently displayed, slanted elegantly to the left. The sword's placement and color provide a strong visual focal point.

Crowning these shields is a majestic golden princely crown. This is an unusual detail for a municipal coat of arms, signifying the city's historical governance by Prince-Abbesses.

Symbolism & Meaning

The double-headed eagle is a direct reference to the Holy Roman Empire, a symbol granted to Essen in 1623. This emblem speaks to the city's historical affiliation and its significance within the broader political landscape.

The sword carries deep historical roots, representing Essen's old symbol and associated with Saints Cosmas and Damian. It's a bold visual reminder of Essen's past, weaving a narrative of faith and heritage.

Together, these elements create a visual tapestry that tells a story of imperial ties, ecclesiastical governance, and enduring civic pride. This decal is a celebration of Essen's rich history, offering a beautiful and compelling image.

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.
