Founded in 1852, Fideikommiss Wustrau in Ruppiner Land, owned by the Lords and later Counts of Zieten since 1590, was passed on to his niece, Schwerin's mother and husband, in 1854 - after the death of Count Friedrich von Zieten. In 1858 their second son Albert - after the death of his older brother Henning - became majorate master at Wustrau with Albertinenhof.
Schwerin was raised to the Prussian count status in Baden-Baden on September 14, 1859 - according to the law of the first birth ( primogeniture ) from each noble marriage - with the name and coat of arms association "Zieten-Schwerin". However , only the respective owner of Fideikommiss Wustrau with Albertinenhof inherited this birthright title at the same time as the ownership took place. The descendants who did not come to Fideikommiss continued to have the name and coat of arms "von Schwerin".
