These coats of arms are works of German heraldist Hermann Knodt (1880–1969), so the images are not in the PD in their source country Germany yet and should be deleted. Unlike the coats of arms of towns etc., there is no PD exception in German law for these coa of student associations. Several of the elements used by these coa may be in the PD because they are simple (below TOO) or old, but the complex compositions as a whole are still copyrightable IMO. The files can be restored in 2040.

 Comment The uploader contacted me and indicated he might be able to get VRT permissions for these. So maybe wait a few weeks before deleting these. --Rosenzweig τ 22:03, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
