Coat of arms- Bornebusch
page 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6

Otto had bought the manor of the Wahrberg (near Ansbach in the Franconian area) in 1901 and after he died there in 1908 he was burried in the family burial place on the eastern hillside. At this crypt placed over the entrance you can see the wrongly designed coat of arms chiselled in stone. The landlords instructed the stonemason to create a tomb slab with the image they had inherited which explains why we can find the non-heraldic image there.

A few years after my grandfather started a new edition of the coat of arms. As he wanted a perfect heraldic coat of arms he consulted the earlier mentioned experts as well as the Danish branch of the family (he knew that Vilhelm /14-171 was also an expert of heraldry) and the immediate descendants of Johann Heinrich, especially the family living at the Wahrberg manor at the time. The research results after having studied the answers to those requests (1912/13) show that the Danish as well as the Wahrberg family wanted to keep the image of the well (see page 5). The other elements of the coat of arms were less discussed.

It is not known if either the old or the new coat of arms were ever registered anywhere. My plan is to consult Siebmachers armorials and/or contact the experts of the "Herold" mentioned before on that topic and then report accordingly.
