Waltershausen Coat of Arms

Shield Argent, three eradicated firs Vert in fess, between the firs an impending fish Azure.
Meaning:

In the 16th century the fish was placed in a Gothic fence, which later was replaced by the three fira. Otto Hupp showed in the 1920ies the arms in slightly different composition, with the middle tree in front of the fish:
