Origin/meaning
Unfortunately I only have a small black-and-white image. A colour image is welcome !
The green bar symbolises the name, Wisch from Wiese, meadow. The two stars are taken from the arms of the Lords of Uffeln, who had many possessions in the area in medieval times. The base shows the arms of the Marschalck von Bachtenbrock family, who had many possessions in the area from late medieval times.
