House of Regenstein

Heimburg came into their possession in the 14th century as a fief and founded the Younger Line of Reinstein(-Heimburg).

Regenstein Castle (the line of Reinstein-Reinstein) was abandoned in the mid-15th century in favour of Blankenburg and Derenburg.

The last male descendant of the noble family, John Ernest, Count of Regenstein, died in 1599.

The coat of arms of the comital line displays in silver a (black) red, six-tined antler.

The later quartered shield shows also in silver (1:4) a black and in (2:3) a red six-tined antler.
