The nose shield or signs (Nasenschild), also a boom, is a traditional form of advertising. It is an advertising sign that is anchored on the wall of a restaurant or shop and protrudes at right angles, like the nose from the face, from the house into the street space. It is considered particularly suitable to draw the attention of passers-by to a shop and is designed in such a way that its mark can be seen well from both sides.
Occasionally, the term "figurehead" is also used for nose shield (signs), but this is usually used in the figurative sense for something (or a person) who acts as a special symbol for an institution or organization.
Herford is a town in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, located in the lowlands between the hill chains of the Wiehen Hills and the Teutoburg Forest. It is the capital of the district of Herford.
Since the Middle Ages, the inns pointed out their function to passers-by with a leaf wreath suspended above the door.
In the German-speaking world, nose signs were often made of iron by blacksmiths with considerable effort. The advertised craft or the offer of a merchant is not pointed out with text, but with figurative signs - for example guild signs. In many cities, the affixing of such a sign was subject to approval by the guild or council.
Restaurants with traditional names such as "Zum Hirsch," "Zum Bären" or "Zur Post" also drew attention to themselves with a pictorial representation of their name.
