Hamburg coat of arms
Hamburg's coat of arms or Drei Zinnen (approx. 252 m above sea level ) is the name of a particularly striking rock formation of the Teufelsmauer in the northern Harz foreland not far from Timmenrode in the Harz district , Saxony-Anhalt .
The three steep pinnacles of the sandstone formation resemble the coat of arms of the Hanseatic city of Hamburg with its three towers. A small basin extends below the rock formation on the south side. On its south side are the rock caves called cow stalls . Opposite, on the southeastern edge of the cauldron, the Teufelsloch cave extends on the outside of which the knight's staircase leads. On the north side a path leads up to the battlements. It is possible to climb between the battlements via the 15-step crenellated stairs carved into the rock .
At the foot of the south side there is a coat of arms of Hamburg affixed with financial support from the City of Hamburg . Noteworthy is a representation of a bird on the western edge of the rock formation.
The rock formation Hamburger Wappen is included as No. 74 in the system of stamping points of the Harz hiking pin.
In 2016, the Hamburg coat of arms was a filming location for the German fairy tale film The Singing, Sounding Tree .
