Shield Argent a lion rampant Sable, armed and tongued Gules, holding a fish haurient Gules by his forepaws.
Meaning:
The name of the subcounty is referring to a kin of knights, the Cup Bearers (German: Schenken) of Landsberg and Seyda. The family owned 15 villages south of Königs Wusterhausen since the 14th century. The kin became extinct, when its last member Ludwig-Alexander Schenk of Landsberg died in 1721. The lion is probably referring to the Wettin kin, as the knights had been their vassals for centuries.
