The silver thistle refers to the Swabian Alb, the original seat of the armiger's ancestors while the colours black and gold are the colours of Baden-Wuerttemberg. The Pean in the shield serves as an indication of the armiger's birthplace - Reutlingen - and points to a close connection of their family with France (French garrison in Reutlingen). | The silver thistle refers to the Swabian Alb, the original seat of the armiger's ancestors while the colours black and gold are the colours of Baden-Wuerttemberg.
