Family crest and nobility chart from 1841

September 1841.  The Schweinitz Coat of Arms  is located on chart, third to the right of the eagle.  The caption on the bottom of the chart is “Abbildung des, ihrer Majestaet der Koenigin Elisabeth von Preussen, von 112 Schlesischien edelfrauen am 14 September 1841 zu Breslau, allerunterthaenigst ueberreichten wappenteppichs.”   Illustration of the her Majesty the Queen Elisabeth of Prussia, of 112 Silesian nobles on September 14th, 1841 in Breslau, as depicted on Coat of Arms.”

The banner under the Schweinitz Coat of Arms states “Er ist unsere hülfe und Schild” which means “He is our help and shield”.  It is from the bible Psalm 33:20-22

Coat of Arms is more elaborate and reflects family history. Shield or crest is usually simpler and used on signature rings and shields.
