Shield parted per pale; at dexter Argent, issuant from base an embattled wall Gules masoned Sable, above an impending sword Gules in pale and pointing downwards, superimposing a basket of peacock feathers Vert, eyed Gules-Or-Sable; at sinister Vert a linden branch Argent with 14 leaves.
Meaning:

The 14 bricks, incl. the pinnacles and the 14 leaves are symbolising the 14 villages, which formed the municipality. The peacock feathers are referring to Prince Heinrich I of Anhalt, displaying the crest of his helmet as shown in the Codex Manesse-
