Family crest and blazon

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Kampfe, so the heraldry linked to Kampf is a starting point, not an automatic right.

How the spelling arose

The extra “e” in Kampfe is a spelling habit rather than a different name. Census takers and immigration officers often wrote what they heard. The same family of names includes Kaempfe and Kaempf.
