The Laufer Wenzelburg was not an imperial castle, nor an imperial palace, but rather a Bohemian regional castle that had symbolic significance. It formed the western entrance gate to Bohemia, as is already clear from the gate tower: above the Bohemian lion coat of arms is the sculpture of the Bohemian patron Wenceslas.

His image can be seen in the form of a colored relief on the east side of the southern window niche of the Imperial Chamber. Perhaps this was the emperor's private place of worship.

As the leading figure of the Bohemian family power, Wenceslas cannot be missing from this coat of arms room, as this is already an important symbolic room of the Bohemian monarchy: under the Bohemian coat of arms with the helmet decoration, arranged on the two keystones of the vaulted ceiling, the royal court is gathered in a magnificent heraldic representation with the coats of arms of the dukes and counts, the bishoprics, the most important cities and important families that belonged to the court.

This interior design, unique in Europe, was created in 1361, the year in which Charles' son Wenceslas was born, who was born in Nuremberg. The coat of arms hall can also be visited as part of a city tour
