ZIEGENHAIN
State : Hessen
District (Kreis) : Schwalm-Eder Kreis (until 1973 Ziegenhain)
Incorporated into : 1970 Schwalmstadt
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The arms are canting (Hain = Hahn = cock) and appeared for the first time in a seal of 1519 and later in all seals and images. The colours changed regularly, the present arms are the most used colours. The star is the star of Waldeck and is derived from the arms of the arms of the first counts of Ziegenhain, who founded the city and granted city rights in 1280. The seals until 1519 showed either the star or a figure of a count.
 Two versions of the arms in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
