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.  -->

 Counts of Nidda were the house of Malsberg
 Ziegenhain 'ancient arms' were a ziegenkopfadler/goat eagle
    -->
-<!-- 1st counts of Nidda were of house of Malsberg, the county then passed to Ziegenahin who split the inheritance between two brothers so the 2nd house of Nidda were Ziegenhain/Reichhenbach branch...and finally Nidda went back to Ziegenhain main branch and from them to Hesse. Ziegenhain ancient arms was not the goat but rather an additional arms that was used for newly created lordship/county of Ziegenhain, a sort of canting arms that was used alongside the dynstic arms. The arms of the family was always shield split in two, black and gold with later addition of stars. We have a proper example from Wijnbergen Armorial...no goat there... -->
