Bauernfeind family crest

Below is a summary of correspondence I had ten years ago with Michael Bauernfeind who has done extensive research on the family in Germany:

"There is no one crest for the family. There are maybe ten different crests preceded by a Hausmark (House mark), which is an ancient symbol used by families in in very early Middle Ages, at the millennium. The three part crest most associated with the family today is an Allianzwappen (Alliance coat-of-arms). It is a combination of the crests from the three major branches of the family in Suedtirol, Salzburg and Franken/Oberpfalz. It is beautiful." This Allianzwappen is what is pictured on this website.

There is some confusion about the six gold items stacked one on top of the other on the red background. I have the original description from the official German book on family crests. These six items are either fish or flames.

A little insight on the family name:

Bauernfeind: enemy of the farmer (gross translation);
enemy of the peasant or rebel (specific translation).

In Latin, the name would be: Inimicus Pauperorum: enemy of the poor.
