This is for making good, larger, copies of the smaller version of Hinrich Schlotfeldt's coat-of-arms shown in another spot on this site. It will take longer to open, but should copy, save or print well. There is text with it that could be
edited out.
I have enjoyed the remark from Hinrich Schlotfeldt of Chile when we sent him the first copy of this Crest in 1998.: "I was very keen to see the coat-of-arms. Among my classmates at school were several families originally from Schleswig-Holstein. They proudly displayed coats of arms in their home, which, if I remember well, showed vegetables, mostly sugarbeets.
My father used to be mildly amused by the expression 'Bauernadel'(Farmer Aristocracy) that these represented. He used to say: 'Bauernadel is a contradiction per se'. Perhaps he did not want to confess that we had one of our own." :-)
At Christmas time in 2004, a different Hinrich Juergen, Dr. HJ Schlotfeldt of Germany, (father of Alexej & Vera)shared a high quality piece of artwork for this family crest. It is a more "flowing" piece of art. I will eventually post it separately to this page. If you are interested in seeing it, e-mail me, I will send you a copy. When asked where he found this art, he explained that he found the Coat-of-Arms at the Monestary records in Itzehoe, Schleswig Holstein, Germany. That was the seat of many family records and some marriages. We are appreciative of his sending this. (Fay S.)
