Meaning:
Negro and triplemount had been the arms of the Barons of Winckler of Mohrenfels (= negro's rock).The kin acquired Hemhofen Estate in 1722 and completed the building of the local palace in Baroque style. The family also established the court of justice of Hemhofen-Zeckern in 1802, which existed until 1848. The inescutcheon is taken from the arms of the Lords of Stiebar of Buttenheim, who owned Zeckern in the 14th century.
