Coat of arms of Hesse
Coat of arms of the German state of Hesse / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The coat of arms of the German state of Hesse was introduced in 1949. It is based on the historical coat of arms of the Ludovingian landgraves of Hesse and Thuringia. The lion on the modern arms does not wear a crown or hold a sword, as it does on the arms of the Grand Duchy.[1]
