Schimmelpenninck Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
(Dutch/Flemish), White horse penny. An old family, whose origin is uncertain, but who have for centuries ranked among the nobles of Gelderland and Zutphen. One of the name was also a burgomaster of Cologne in 1409; and, the same year, another held the office of alderman of Brussels.
Perhaps they came originally from Cologne, the Electors of which bore the white horse of Witikind in their Arms; and they may have been mint-masters, and coiners of a penny stamped with a “schimmel,” that emblem of our Saxon ancestors still preserved in the Arms of Hanover. Or they may have been Treasurers, and receivers of a tax paid in “Schimmel pennies.” I presume there have been pennies so styled, either properly or vulgarly; for horses are to be found on many of the old German coins. Their Arms are, “Ar. two keys in saltire sa., in the bows or rings a cross of the first.” I do not know how the office of Treasurer was conferred in Germany; but, in England, it was formerly done by the delivery of the golden keys of the Treasury. The first quarter of the Arms of Cologne is, “Ar., a cross sa.;” hence, perhaps, the cross in the bows of the keys.
