coat of arms
The coat of arms is split. It shows a standing, forward-facing, black-clad virgin in the silver field on the green ground, who holds a scythe in each slightly raised hand. The iron of the right scythe is turned down and out, that of the left up and in. In the back of the red field there is a stream of water drawn in the shape of a bar, of course blue and white in color. On the crowned helmet there is a growing, crowned golden lion, which holds a bare sword in its right paw and three silver arrows placed one above the other in the left. The blankets are blue and red.
The left half of the shield and the helmet decorations are reminiscent of the von Criwitz family , from whom the ennobled in maternal line came, since his mother Magdalene, nee. von Criwitz (baptized October 6, 1729 in Güstrow, † November 4, 1818 in Bützow) was a sister of the last von Criwitz.
