I wonder whether this should be the title for the article, as it certainly isn't a "coat of arms". It's not on a shield (and the grain isn't heraldically rye...). -- Daniel C. Boyer 19:59, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I believe that one of the elements present in the insignia is a red disc. -- 138.88.222.29 03:43, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Please change the name of the article to Coat of arms of the GDR (or German Democratic Republic), because "East Germany" is definitely wrong! N3MO 28 Feb 19:14 (Ger)

The technical name of the state was never East Germany, title should reflect this! 2A00:23C4:F604:6601:C827:5660:1C41:CE2B ( talk) 00:47, 29 October 2018 (UTC) reply
