Here, the simple will board the points towards the crest mid-limiting side by a circumferential section of the Herald image cloud changed. Two forms are in use through the use of the single cloud and the double cloud. The shape must be mentioned in the description . The preferred tinge is blue-silver, but red-gold and other heraldic color combinations are also represented. If the coat of arms is badly outlined, it can be mixed up with the corrugated rim.
The cloud border is particularly common in southwest German municipal heraldry. There he refers to the coat of arms of the Princely House of Fürstenberg , to whose territories the communities in question belonged.
