Origin/meaning

The arms show the arms of the Counts of Alsleben, who became extinct in 1126. Some images from the 16th and 17^th century show three eels instead of three roses in the lower part of the arms. These are probably canting (Aale=eel).

The arms on a municipal stamp (1892)	Seal from around 1900
The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925
