wappen Prillevitz

Beitrag von Prillevitz » 10.09.2005, 18:12

Dear Madam, Sir,

The Coat of Arms (= Wappen) of my family = Prillevitz looks very similar to the coat of arms of the county (= herrschaft/ Grafschaft) of Stargard in Mecklenburg. You can find it in the coat of arms of the of city of Neustrelitz and the county of Mecklenburg (on the lefthand side). This "wappen" consists of an arm holding a ring.

In our family weapon you can see the same arm. But in our coat of arms it's holding a crown and puts it on the head of a bird (duck or chicken or eagle etc.).

Above our coat of arms is written: Deo Patrono

I know that my family comes from Mecklenburg. Probably from the village Prillwitz near Neustrelitz. This village is strangely enough very close to the county of Stargard and the city of Neustrelitz which have the same arm in their wappen.

Can you give me some information about our wappen/ coat of arms? Is there a connection between our wappen and the wappen of Neustrelitz and Mecklenburg?

What is the meaning of the Neustrelitz and Mecklenburg wappen and how old is it?

All information is very welcome. Thank you.

Greetings,
Paul Prillevitz (Amsterdam/ The Netherlands)
