Since the town of Ziegenhain originally belonged to the family of the Counts of Ziegenhain , it is not a goat eagle , but a rooster with a goat's head in its coat of arms. The form shown in the literature for the Counts of Ziegenhain is a goat head eagle in the usual eagle representation and covered with a breastplate.
