Alliance coats-of-arms Eggenberg and Brandenburg

The coat-of-arms of the Eggenbergs is located on the left-hand side : five five-petalled roses (Český Krumlov) decorate the first field of the quartered shield, a coroneted eagle is on the other field (Postojna in Yugoslavia), the next field is adorned with an anchor (Ptuj in Yugoslavia) while the forth field is decorated with a wheel (Radgona/Radkersburg in Styria), the small heart-shaped shield with three coroneted ravens carrying a coronet in their beaks is situated in the middle (original Eggenbergs' coat-of-arms).

The emblem of the Brandenburg Margraves is situated next to that of the Eggenbergs : the shield is divided in twelve fields, a lion is on the first field (Nurmberg), on the second to ninth field there alternate the Prussian eagle, Brandenburg eagle with Pomeranian griffin, Szczecin griffin, Wendish griffin and Kashubian griffin, the half of a lion behind the wall is on the eleventh field, the tenth and twelfth fields have no paintings - the tenth field of red was intended to be without decorations, and the twelfth field was to be adorned with the Hohenzoller emblem (quartered coat-of-arms with the first and forth field of silver and the second and third field of black).
