The Palatine Lion ((ドイツ語:Pfälzer Löwe)), less commonly the Palatinate Lion, is an heraldic charge (see also: heraldic lions). It was originally part of the family coat of arms of the House of Wittelsbach and is found today on many coats of arms of municipalities, counties and regions in South Germany and the Inn quarter. == Forms == The main design is described as ''sable a lion rampant or, crowned, armed and langued gules''. Originally uncrowned, the lion was first depicted with a red crown in the early 14th century in the Zürich armorial. This probably relates to the pre-eminent position held by the Prince-Elector of the Palatinate as an imperial vicar, since the Golden Bull of 1356. In addition to these two main forms there is a number of variants. Many villages used as seals the symbols of their ruling families. In order to minimise the risk of confusion, the detail of the coat of arms was changed when authority was granted to use them. Occasionally other colours were used in order to stay faithful to the rule of tincture.
