Coat of Arms
There are 4 coat of arms noted at the Staatsarchiv Bern:
- Freiburghaus, Heimatort Rüeggisberg, ca 1479
- Freiburghaus, Heimatort Mühleberg, 1808
- Freiburghaus, Heimatort Neuenegg, 1844
- Freiburghaus, Heimatort Neuenegg, 1803
About coat of arms in Switzerland: in Switzerland, there were and are no laws for family coat of arms, so everyone who wanted could have one. In early 19th century it was common for people working in administration to seal documents with their coat of arms. Because of this, there are many coat of arms that first show up in this time (the years in the list above are the years of sources in which coat of arms was found, eg. as a seal, a "Schliffscheibe" (sort of a small glass to hang on the window or put in as part of a window) or somewhere else).
As with any genealogical research in Switzerland, the "Heimatort" needs to be considered and also who exactly was the first person (usually men) who used the coat of arms. Usually only descandants who have this surname are allowed to use the coat of arms.
