Some of the famous shields from the former Erfurt townhall at Deutsches Historisches Museum Berlin. Dated to 1286-1348 and 1348-1385. More than 30 pieces have survived there as as wall decoration in the main hall.

@ Fernando:
The motto "fahr mit Freuden" (go with joy) on the first Tournament or Cavalry Shield is also very nice. In German it can also be commonly interpreted as "die with joy" or less commonly also as attac with joy i wonder which one has been the right one

In deed it is an ambiguous inscription and its owner and his opponent may interprete it according to the actual situation
Here are some more paveses of German Historica Museum Berlin: Köln (Cologne) Inventory W 1055 15th century http://www.dhm.de/datenbank/dhm.php?...fld_0=ak005369 A black&white Image of a Konstanz pavese depicting the coat of arms of the city of Konstanz with its white shield, with a black cross and the red top 15th century. http://www.dhm.de/datenbank/dhm.php?...fld_0=AK005367 A Ravensburg pavese with a beaughtiful black castle or a fortified city gate 1446-1455. http://www.dhm.de/datenbank/dhm.php?...fld_0=AK005366 A pavese from the St-George-brotherhood from Winterthur Switzerland 1446-1455. http://www.dhm.de/datenbank/dhm.php?...fld_0=AK005370 A small pavese depicting St George defeating a dragon from Nuremberg ca 1480 http://www.dhm.de/datenbank/dhm.php?...fld_0=AK005377 A very nice Bohemian pavese with a floral ornaments 1446-1455. http://www.dhm.de/datenbank/dhm.php?...fld_0=AK005371 I guess the Museum has dated the shields in categories as some of the dates are repeatedly mentioned.
