Wappen Landkreis Schmalkalden-Meiningen (Germany) (Coat of Arms) Vinyl Decal - Design Description

This vinyl decal showcases the official coat of arms, or Wappen, of the Landkreis Schmalkalden-Meiningen, a district in Thuringia, Germany. The design is a powerful visual representation of the district's history, heritage, and administrative unity.

Design Elements

The coat of arms is meticulously quartered, a heraldic practice dividing the shield into four sections. This design cleverly combines the historical symbols of the two former districts that merged to form Schmalkalden-Meiningen in 1994.

Upper Quadrant: Schmalkalden

The top half of the design, representing Schmalkalden, features a prominent black lion emblazoned against a vibrant golden (yellow) background. This majestic lion is the emblem of the Counts of Henneberg, who held historical dominion over the Schmalkalden region.

Lower Quadrant: Meiningen

The lower half of the shield represents Meiningen. It showcases a striking blue lion, set against a pristine silver (white) background. Often, the lion is rendered with a contrasting red tongue and claws, adding further detail and visual interest. This blue lion is the heraldic symbol of the Dukes of Saxe-Meiningen, who governed the historical region of Meiningen.

Symbolism and Meaning

The overall design is rich in symbolism. The black lion is a direct reference to the Counts of Henneberg and signifies their significant influence and control over the Schmalkalden area. The blue lion represents the ducal family of Saxe-Meiningen, reflecting their historical reign and the heritage of Meiningen.

By merging these two heraldic symbols, the coat of arms beautifully and effectively conveys the modern administrative unity of the Landkreis Schmalkalden-Meiningen, honoring its historical roots and the merging of its component regions.

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.
