The coat of arms, is uncertain where though from. It is only sure that <strong>Caspar Garschagen</strong>, court juror to Elberfeld, was of at 1670 led.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 18px;">The tribe '<em><strong>Garschagen' </strong></em>cannot be judged either which weight befits the family tradition that the '<em><strong>Garschagen'</strong></em> was a originally knight by birth Kinship - and '<em>Gerds hagen'</em>and <em>Speer des hagen'</em> has to be indicated.</span></p> <p><br /><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong>Is the tradition tied to the coat of arms or acknowledge this decisively?</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 18px;">After all, must be recorded here, that to K&auml;rner's <strong>&ldquo;Handbook of</strong><strong>the</strong><strong>herald</strong><strong>art "</strong> <em>(1920 - 34</em><em>band</em><em>D.i</em><em>p.</em><em>98</em><em> )</em> the family 1562 already leads the "<em>tyr</em> <em>rune"</em> for Hagen (though upright), the <em>'</em><em>Haulissen hagen' </em> then <em>&ldquo;</em><em>Speerspitze&rdquo; </em> <em>(spearhead)</em> already lead by <strong>Kaspar Garschagen.</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Of course this connection speaks approximately for the original form "<em>Garshagen".</em> Thesign is indicated in Holtmanns &ldquo;coat of arms book&rdquo; where the <strong>Garschagen's</strong> coat of arms is figured as a &ldquo;Pflugschar&rdquo; (ploughshare) what do justice to the tradition of the leads by &ldquo;Burg Hagen&rdquo; <em>(Knight House of)</em> (see above) would.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 18px;">The coat of arms adds a silver sign - be now but to mention ploughshare, '<em>tyr</em> <em>rune'</em> or <em>&ldquo;</em><em>Speer&rdquo;</em>, in blue field whose helmet ceilings are blue silver and bounce to the pointed three, bounce after "macco" peacocks in her natural green yellow colors with a blue mirror after other interpretation 3 Strauss-spring it, tower.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 18px;">On everyone fells the coat of arms is old and good. In the chronicler of <strong>Rothe</strong> from <strong>Cretzberg</strong> <em>("Ritter-Spiegel")</em> stands 1400 a.d. in the "knight mirror", about this:</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 18px;">&ldquo;<em>Silver or gold must reject shields a right in the field or picture; the two lacks one, so it is not a coat of arms. Golden metal counts more than silver&rdquo;. </em></span><br /> &nbsp;</p> <p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Two good colors are part of the field and picture. The more a signpost has colors, the coat of arms is respected the more less the fewer pictures are in it, themore of noble birth it is.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 18px;">The coat of arms saying is called <strong>"Ora et Labora"</strong>: <em>Pray and work!</em></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 18px;">We also claim to be faithful for him as genuine Garschagen - descendants - in deep respect and gratitude this one drive up remembering, this in hers live truly made.</span></p>
