coat of arms

The brothers Franciscus , Johannes , Heinrich , Georius and Wilhelm received from Emperor Siegmund in Rome on the Friday before Margarethen 1433 the confirmation and improvement of their coat of arms ( decoratio coronae ). The brothers Wolfgang and Christoph Rumel received the same pardon on February 14, 1539. This coat of arms is described as follows: “upright next to each other two Hanen with open beaks, the kerende and r. knocked out Zunglin, Kamp and Lappen ”, from the helmet a growing rooster with wings, in 1751 they lead a rooster between two wings with wings on the helmet.

The hustle and bustle of Lichtenau and Lonerstadt had two averted cocks in the coat of arms, on the helmet a large growing cock with wings, later (after 1751) on the helmet a cock with wings with large wings. The Rummel coat of arms from the 17th century now shows a Neptune on one of the helmets and is a combination of the three older coats of arms.

When it was raised to the baron status, the coat of arms was changed beyond recognition. Now it is quartered with a heart sign, on it stands a wolf in red on a green lawn, suckling two naked boys. This well-known picture of Romulus and Remus is probably an allusion to the name Rummel. In the 1st and 4th quadrants of the main shield there is a battle-armored rooster looking outward on a large mountain, in the 2nd and 3rd quadrant there is a blue bar with three gold stars. Of the three helmets, the first wears a crowned and armored man growing out of it, who holds a sword in each hand, the second a crowned black double-headed eagle, the third a growing sea god (Neptune). This coat of arms was used by the rummels in the Upper Palatinate.
