    On the Bavarian side you can see the official coat of arms of Prince-Bishop Johann Gottfried von Aschhausen, Bishop of Bamberg (1609 to 1622).
    The quartered shield contains a five-spoke wheel and the Bamberg lion. Above the coat of arms is a fragment of an inscription "G B Z B W V H".
    The full inscription probably reads: "J G B Z B W V H Z F",
    that is: "Johann Gottfried, Bishop of Bamberg, Würzburg and Duke of Franconia".
