In the 16. century  more of Jappe genus were councillors and superintendents for the poor house. So they were entitled to have a coat of arms hanging. The archive in Lybeck has several drawings of these coats of arms.

The coats of arms to the right is a modernised version of the original Jappe coats of arms, which i. a.  Ivar Jappe used on his company papers.

In 1930s oberingenieur Heinrich Jappe did  a lot of work researching Jappe genus, and he has released a family history book with his results. Apparently, he led the genus back to 1300 century Friesland according to a memoire  Fanny Fang has released about Jens Nicolai Jappe.

He sold several copies of his family history book to the Danish family, but  so far I have only seen a small book about Jappe genus in Lybeck and Northern Germany, so it is somewhat unclear whether there are other books from his hand.



Coats of arms to the left was used by Heinrich Jappe when he wrote to the Danish relatives. It should be the Jappe family coats of arms in 1603












 The drawings of the two coats of arms, shown here, is found on the archive in Lybeck.
