Shield Argent, on a base bendy Sable, charged with three 6-point stars Argent, a wolf rampant Azure, in sinister chief a chess-rook Sable.
Meaning:
The wolf is taken from the arms of the Lords of Plankenfels, first mentioned in 1217 and died out in 1538. Bend and stars are taken from the arms of the Lords of Schlammersdorf, owners in the 17th and 18th century. The rook is taken from the arms of the Lords of Neustädter-Stürmer, who owned Wadendorf village in the 16th century.
