Naming

Due to the different denominations in the Kleinwalsertal in the Northeast and the Oberstdorf page in the east, the name situation of the mountains mentioned previously hammer tip and Schüsser presented complicated dar. why was carried out in July 2013 an official renaming of the mountains in order to improve the situation, for example, for emergency calls. Walser hammer tip and from the German hammer tip and the Austrian Schüsser the Oberstdorf hammer tip was from the German and Austrian Schüsser hammer tip.

In the official German and Austrian card works, the two mountains were each named vice versa. In the Bavarian map the combination hammer tip was ( 2260 m) and Schüsser ( 2170 m), in the Austrian map thus: Schüsser ( 2259 m) and hammer tip ( 2170m ).

In the revised boundary description of 1844 states: "against the sailor ... on the sailor, is which called on the Vorarlberg side Hammerspitz " While the term hammer is an expression of Walser German and as meaning, rock ' has is the root word Schisser the Allgäuerischen entstammend. It means the stones throwing down ' and, for example, in Schisser Kar in Warmatsgund on the German side used. However, " sailor " in the boundary description is used for the whole mountain ridge between the pulpit wall and Fiderepass. Thaddeus Steiner thought that was perhaps a distinction on the Austrian side earlier between the hammer head, so the Schüsser, and the hammer tips.
