Apparently there is no Ratzinger coat of arms per se. Ben 16th chose his heraldic device each time he had reason to have one (bishop, cardinal...) and it changed when he was elevated to the Chair of Peter. The link will show the c. of a. and also offer an explanation of the symbolism - which I didn't have time to read.
