presentation
When depicted in the shield base , the Dreiberg is often a herald image , as in this case it runs as a coat of arms cut from shield edge to shield edge. The arches often symbolize mountains, hence the name. If it does not consist of arches, it is also called a three- pointed mountain or three- pointed mountain . In the case of the actual Dreiberg, the central summit is usually raised, and often also enlarged overall, with the pointed shape a raised central peak is reported . The figure is common and common worldwide.
Five and seven mountains in this arrangement are rare. In contrast, the Sechsberg, formed from six hills, is particularly popular in Italian and Swiss heraldry. If the number is greater than six, the heraldry speaks of craggy . These are also known as burning crags with flames .
If a mountain is in the coat of arms with heraldic flowers, often decorated with a lily , it is emblazoned as a blooming mountain .
The Dreiberg is often also a place for a heraldic animal . In the Suhl coat of arms is … in the open gate, standing to the right on a green three-row hill, a black hen with a red comb . The mountain is just as likely to have one (on the central knoll) or three trees (then on each knoll). Then he symbolizes generally forested mountains. Bergün clearly shows a black, upright ibex with a blue sword on the Dreiberg .
The most well-known three-legions can be found in the coat of arms of Hungary and the coat of arms of Slovakia . The three mountains Tatra , Fatra and Mátra are represented here. The three mountain on the coat of arms of Slovenia represents the Triglav (three head) , the highest mountain in Slovenia ( talking coat of arms ).
