Lords of Sickingen
Sickingen is the name of an old southwest German . The lords of Sickingen belonged to the Kraichgau uradel or ancient nobility and, from 1797, to the imperially immediate Hochadel or high nobility.
The Sickingen-Sickingen line died out in 1834, the Sickingen-Hohenburgs in 1932.
Colours and elements, especially the five balls, from the Sickingen coat of arms still appear today in many county, town and village coats of arms in the former territory of the Sickingens.
