Osternienburger Land Coat of Arms

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 embattled wall is representing a castle, and is punning, as the name of the muncipality means "new eastern castle". 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-
