Schöneich's Coat of Arms "Wappen des Caspar von Schöneich"
HISTORICAL FORMATION OF THE COAT OF ARMS
​
​
The shield shows a green braided oak wreath on a gold background, filled alternately with oak leaves and eight gold acorns and framed by a red border with four loops. The crown is repeated on the helmet with red and gold lambrequins.
SHIELD ENLARGEMENT I
The coat of arms of the Müller family of Schönaich ennobled in 1861, which comes from Ida of Schönaich, is similar to the original coat of arms of the Schönaichs: under the red chief is a gold lion with a red tongue walking, all on a golden background with a green oak crown (the Schönaich one). The helmet bears the same crown as the shield with red and gold lambrequins.
SHIELD ENLARGEMENT II
​
The coat of arms of Baron de Hoverbeck, called de Schoenaich, shows in the title of the year 1802 a cleft shield; the right half is divided into four parts: in the first and fourth fields there is a black rafter on a silver background, in the second and third fields, a silver sash on a black background, accompanied at the top by three silver merlets grouped together (original Hoverbeck coat of arms); the left half shows at the top, on a golden background, the oak crown of The Schoenaich; below, on a red background, a golden and crowned lion advancing with a sword in its right front claw (from the enlarged coat of arms of The Schoenaich). The shield is covered by three helmets; from the crown of the first helmet with two black and silver lambrequins are born two torsos of bear or golden houndling that move away; the crown of the central helmet with green and gold lambrequins carries the oak crown of The Schönaich; from the crown of the third helmet with red and gold lambrequins emerges an arm with a sword, bent and clad in black.
