Coat of arms history

The coat of arms appears early on on imprints of seals . In Johann Siebmacher's coat of arms book (1605) the family is listed under the Saxon family, plate 172. The blazon reads: “Shield divided lengthways: on the right in silver two six-spoke, golden wheels set as stakes, on the left in blue three diagonally upwards , all silver arrows. On the shield is a crowned helmet, which has two peacock tails swept at an angle, each of six (3, 2, 1) feathers. The helmet covers are silver and gold on the right, blue and gold on the left. "

Christian Friedrich August von Meding describes the coat of arms in his messages of noble coats of arms . Volume III, pages 646-647 (1791) after von Behr of 1665, a funeral sermon published in 1616 and after Siebmacher. According to von Behr's manuscript, the “shield is divided, on the right three arrows of silver with black iron and barbs in the blue, and on the left a red, half wheel in the silver field.” According to the funeral sermon published by Claus von Peccatel in 1616 the arrows are one above the other diagonally right and turned outwards with the iron. The right half of the wheel, which is a comb wheel , is missing and the left half that is shown is connected to the perpendicular line of the shield. On the flared helmet are four peacock feathers, turned diagonally outwards, between which an upright arrow with an unoccupied tip is turned upwards. The colors are not described.

After Ernst Heinrich Kneschke The coats of arms of the German baronial and noble families. Volume 4, pages 427-430 (1857), the shield of the family coat of arms is "divided lengthways: on the right in blue three silver arrows with black irons and barbs and black plumage; on the left, in silver, a half, red wheel connected to the dividing line, of which not the central spokes, but the five spokes of the left half of the wheel can be seen. On the shield is a crowned helmet, which, between two outwardly turned, silver ostrich feathers, bears an upright arrow, like the one in the right half of the shield. At the tip of the arrow rests a crown from which three blue ostrich feathers emerge. The helmet covers are red and silver on the right, blue and silver on the left. "
