coat of arms
|
|
Blazon : "Above a silver shield base, inside a continuous red St. Andrew's cross, split, in front a silver male body with a gold chain collar, in the back quartered with silver and black." |
| Justification of the coat of arms: The coat of arms uses components of the coats of arms of its districts and thus also points to the local history: The St. Andrew's cross stands for the Counts of Oettingen , who ruled in the Trendel district, while the dog's head refers to the Polsinger Lords of See. The black and white crossing points to the former reign of the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach. |
Architectural monuments
The former Wöllwarth'sche moated castle was built by the Lords of See. It has a rectangular moat, a wall with round towers and a three-storey main building. It was bought by Margrave Casimir von Brandenburg in 1517/18 to the Margrave of Brandenburg. In 1580 Hans Sigismund von Wöllwarth bought the castle. The Lords of Wöllwarth kept the castle until 1857. Then it was acquired by Wilhelm Löhe from Neuendettelsau , who had used it as an institution building since 1865. Today it belongs to the Diakonie Neuendettelsau .
