Seeblatt
In coats of arms the sea leaf is shown as a stylized leaf of a water lily .
In older coat of arms descriptions it is also referred to as Mumblatt . As a three-pass , the sea leaves centered around a center, it was already known as a common figure in the Middle Ages . To distinguish it from the heart-shaped linden leaf, the stem is not shown, and the stem attachment is broken out like an ornament . Out of ignorance, it has been interpreted as Schröterhorn or also as a heart.
In the coat of arms, the arrangements are in piles , rows , obliquely left and obliquely right and are emblazoned in the description of the coat of arms . Other well-known arrangements are 2 over 1, but the sea leaf can also be found sown or scattered in coats of arms. More recent, mostly municipal coats of arms, represent both round and heart-shaped natural water lily leaves with a curved or twisted stem in coats of arms, which must be reported as such.
Cave : confusion with the chapels (similar to fallen sea leaves) and the Schröterhorns in the representation and designation is possible. Schröterhorn is often wrongly used for Seeblatt in blazonings . A sea leaf has a round or clover leaf breakout at the base of the stem, it is smaller and the surrounding area is larger than that of the chape . The chape symbolizes the lower fitting of a sword scabbard, and the Schröterhorn the stag beetle's pincers . The inaccuracies are marked, only the description of the coat of arms clarifies the facts.
