Imperial coat of arms Coats of arms of Holy Roman Emperors The ''Reichsadler'' ("Imperial Eagle") was the heraldic eagle, derived from the Roman eagle standard, used by the Holy Roman Emperors and in modern coats of arms of Germany, including those of the Second German Empire (1871–1918), the Weimar Republic (1919–1933) and the "Third Reich" (Nazi Germany, 1933–1945). The same design has remained in use by the Federal Republic of Germany since 1945, but under a different name, now called ''Bundesadler'' ("Union Eagle" or "Federal Eagle", from German "Bund", genitive form "Bund''es''" meaning 'Union' or 'Federation', and "Adler" meaning 'Eagle').

Nördlingen
Nördlingen (; Swabian: ''Nearle'' or ''Nearleng'') is a town in the Donau-Ries district, in Swabia, Bavaria, Germany, with a population of approximately 20,674. It is located approximately east of Stuttgart, and northwest of Munich. It was built in an impact crater 15 million years old and 25 km in diameter—the Nördlinger Ries—of a meteorite which hit with an estimated speed of 70,000 km/h, and left the area riddled with an estimated 72,000 tons of micro-diamonds. Nördlingen was first mentioned in recorded history in 898. The town was the location of two battles during the Thirty Years' War, which took place between 1618 and 1648.

Wolfgang Von Dalberg
Wolfgang von Dalberg (1538 – April 5, 1601) was the Archbishop-Elector of Mainz from 1582 to 1601. Biography Wolfgang von Dalberg was born in 1538, the son of Friedrich Kämmerer von Worms alias von Dalberg (1500–1574), and his wife Anna von Fleckenstein (d. 1564). When the cathedral chapter of Mainz Cathedral met on 19–20 April 1582 to elect a new Archbishop of Mainz, Dalberg narrowly beat out Julius Echter von Mespelbrunn, Bishop of Würzburg to become the new Archbishop. Pope Gregory XIII confirmed his election on 3 September 1582. He was ordained as a priest in 1583. In 1583, Dalberg signed a treaty with William IV, Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel, settling a long-standing border dispute between the Archbishopric of Mainz and Hesse-Kassel. In that treaty, the archbishopric gave up its claims in Hesse, and Hesse-Kassel gave up its claim on Eichsfeld. Dalberg oversaw introduction of the Gregorian calendar in 1583.https://amp.ww.en.freejournal.org/31525969/1/wolfgang-von-dalb ...
