Occitan cross

The Tolosanerkreuz (named after Tolosa, the Occitan name of the city of Toulouse ), is a common cross, the most equally long arms of the cross ( Greek cross ) resemble elongated quatrefoil riding (medieval key grip shape ). All twelve tips are sullied with small balls. In most Romance languages ​​it is named after the country Occitan Occitania cross ( Crotz Occitana ( okz. ), Croix occitane (French ), Cruz de Occitania (Spanish ) ).

Many terms are known for this cross, but few true. The correct transfer from French Heraldry ( croix cléchée, videe ( drained, hollow) et pommetée ( beäpfelt ) de douze pièces ( 12 pieces ) - gerandetes ( empty ) key cross, apfelbesteckt 12 times ) would result in a quatrefoil Riding Cross, sullied with 12 beads or balls. Medieval key often had three- pass or four- pass riding as key fobs, as is known in heraldry, some sullied with beads or balls on the corners. Other names such as key board key cross or cross (French Croix cléchée ) are the questionable Name Keyring Cross and leaf cross over. The latter is because of the open form of Tolosanerkreuzes not in question. The Occitan cross is a slightly used coat of arms figure, but particularly prevalent in southern France near Toulouse in coats of arms.

The cross in the coat of arms of Sevgein is the modified form of a cross with anchor firmly curled ends, therefore no Tolosanerkreuz.
