-<!-- The black and gold shield is of the Ziegenhain (Reichenbach) family, not of the earlier Nidda family. As far as I can see for now the arms of the earlier Counts of Nidda  (last Count died 1205) is unknown. The Ziegenhain family (earlier Reichenbach) inherited Nidda, two counties were ruled together for a time until separated by descendants of two brothers. The two lines were once again reunited in 1333 when the two counties and their arms were joined (dimidiated version). -->
 <!-- Ziegenhain were a cadet branch of the house of Reichenbach (died out in 1279)
 Counts of Nidda were the house of Malsberg
 Ziegenhain 'ancient arms' were a ziegenkopfadler/goat eagle
