Translation:
The coat of arms of the "Bundesland" (federal state) Oberösterreich is a shield with, on the left, a golden eagle armed with red tongue and red claws on a black background. On the right it is divided three times in silver and red. The shield has on the top the archducal hat of Austria.

The German speaks of an Erzherzogshut, which translates literally as an archducal cap of maintenance, but there is in fact a coronet enclosing the cap of maintenance. (When a coronet or crown is mentioned, the cap of maintenance does not appear in the blazon. It is only blazoned if it appears on its own, without a coronet. Many Scottish lords display caps of maintenance.) When a cap of maintenance is mentioned in German (in conjunction with a crown), it is frequently called a Kronmütze (crown-cap).Mike Oettle , 19 August 2002
