ARMS (Shield):
Gules upon a trimount in base vert between two mullets a crossbow or
CREST (Helmet):
Non
MANTLE (Decken):
Not deScribed (Mantling is seldom deScribed and usually takes the Tinctures of the Shield)

REFERENCE SOURCE:
Armorial General by J.B. Rietstap
ARMS (Shield) INTERPRETATION:
Gules - (Means the Shield is Red (Gules=Red))
upon a trimount in base vert - (Means "something" will go above a Green (Vert=
Green) 3-hilled rounded mound (Tri-Mount) that suggests "Grassy" rolling hills is to be placed at the bottom (Base)
of the Shield)
between two mullets a crossbow or - (Means the "something" that goes above the Tri-Mount
is a Golden (Or=Gold) Crossbow, and the Crossbow also goes between 2 Golden (Or=Gold) Stars (Mullets))
Note: The Trimount is very common in German heraldry - also, German heraldry breaks the "Tincture rule" most
often, as it does here by "placing colour upon colour" - the Trimount can always get away with it.
CREST (Helmet) INTERPRETATION:
Non - (Means no known Crest was deScribed to be affixed by the Torse (wreath of cloth with 6 twists,
alternating between the primary tinctures) together with the Mantling, to the Helmet, which is drawn in Profile with no Visor nor
Grilles or with the Visor closed - the kind used by a "Bürgerliche" (Esquire/Commoner/Citizen))
SYMBOLISM:
Crossbow - (Symbolism unknown)
Star (Mullet) - (Divine quality from above; mark of cadency of the 3rd son)
Trimount - (Symbolism unknown - very common German device)
Colors:
Gules (Red) - (Military fortitude and magnanimity)
Or (Gold) - (Generosity)
Vert (Green) - (Hope, joy and sometimes loyalty in love)
