And the years are reverted back, idk where are you pulling them from but they are completely incorrect. Wikipedia is a bad source... The main branch built Ziegenhain and moved to that place naming themselves after it somewhere mid-late 12th century, star was probably added to the arms after the division of Ziegenhain and Nidda between two brothers...Ziegenhain one six-pointed star and Nidda two eight-pointed stars...although both arms are known with variants of six and eight points each.  -->
