Burgruine Hohenwaldeck, "ruins of Hohenwaldeck Castle", are situated 890 m north-east of the church of Wallfahrtskirche St. Leonhard in the village of Fischhausen at the southern end of the Schliersee Lake, Bavaria. 4.9 km south-east of the town of Hausham; 9 km south-east of the town of Miesbach

The family coat of arms of the Lords of Waldeck showed half a falcon (or eagle, depending on the interpretation), including two crossed staffs, which are interpreted as judicial staffs, which indicates the status of the Waldeckers as holders of certain rights. The falcon points to the coat of arms of the Falkensteiners , who some believe may have been the ancestors of the Waldeckers. In 1548, Emperor Charles V awarded the Waldecker coat of arms to Wolfgang von Maxlrain , which he then integrated into his ancestral family coat of arms as a heart shield. The family coat of arms of the Lords of Waldeck is now the municipal coat of arms of the municipality of Hausham. (w:de:Waldeck zu Alten- und Hohenwaldeck)
