Shield Gules a pale Argent charged with three fleur-de-lis Gules, crested by a helmet with scarves of Gules and Argent, plumes Argent on top superimposed by three fleur-de-lis Gules.
Meaning:
The arms are based on the family arms of the Theler kin, a family of patricians from Freiberg, who had possessions in the Margraviate of Meißen, Böhmen and Lausitz. The family gained the Höckersorf Estate tohgether with the pits of Höckersdorf and Edle Krone as a reward for their support of the margraves in war between 1330 and 1360. The only difference is the helmet, which replaced a coronet in the family arms.
