Blazon:
“In red, between two silver lions rampant facing each other, gold tongued and nailed, a silver linden tree (¹) uprooted. On the helmet with red-silver mantling, a black eight-pointed star (²) between two eagle-wings addorsed, divided into two equal parts, red above and silver below.”
Motto:
“Crede quod potes, et potes" (³)
Origin:
Two different branches of the Macrander family, from Frankfurt am Main and Wetzlar, used seals with a tree and lion(s).
Also the seal from 1582 of the brother-in-law of Arnold Langemann (Macrander), the famous reformer Philipp Nicolai, who must have had great influence on Arnold Langemann (Macrander), contains a tree. (Source: Waldeckische Wappen, volume 3 by Helmut Nicolai)

¹) A 'Gerichtslinde', a court tree as a symbol of judicial functions practiced by various early Macrander ancestors, like a Ratschöffe (a lay judge in a council),
a Gerichtstschöffe (a lay judge in a court) and (Gerichts)prokuratoren (attorneys/lawyers). In the Middle Ages, the court trees were used as places for the conclusion
of marriages and judicial matters. Also a 'Lutherlinde' as a symbol of the religion that was strongly adhered by early Macrander ancestors.;
²) The star of Waldeck;
³) "Believe that you can, and then you can".

Frankfurt-branch:
Johann Henrich Martin Macrander (*1750-†1786), Gerichtsprokurator (lawyer/attorney) from Frankfurt am Main. The house deed 'Hausurkunden 2794' (purchase treaty of 18-09-1784) contains a red wax seal of Gerichtsprokurator Johann Henrich Martin Macrander, who acted as a witness. The seal from 1784 shows a planted tree between two lions rampant facing each other. (Source: Institut für Stadtgeschichte Frankfurt am Main.)
Wetzlar-branch:
Johan Caspar Macrander (*1657/89-†1738/43), Gerichtsschöffe (lay judge) from Wetzlar. He was a son or grandson of Philips Josias Macrander (*1629-†1719) Ratsherr (councilman), Ratschöffe (lay judge) and Burgermeister/Consul (mayor/consul) of Wetzlar. The seal from 1719 is in very poor condition. On the seal are clearly recognizable the initials "I C M". Below that is no armorial shield, but an armorial image that was put freely in the field of the seal. After professional editing in Photoshop, an image was revealed of an uprooted tree and a jumping lion.
