It weighs around 50MB and works okayish, considering it renders 18k images (which was a challenge on its own, as it uses old-school sprites that create a nice-looking mosaic too, example: [https://deykun.github.io/maps/images/heraldry/de/web/sprites/unit-0.webp](https://deykun.github.io/maps/images/heraldry/de/web/sprites/unit-0.webp) ).
Unfortunately, due to the way German Wikipedia is structured and how I parsed it, filtering by type (city, municipality, land) is broken, but filters for animals and colors work fine. Some CoAs may be assigned incorrectly, but we can clearly see the pattern if there is one.

Yay i spotted my town i live in 😀 really cool post
>Unusual Hybrids
Hey!
You get my star buddy
You should have included the filter for “Bucket”.
The one with “führt kein Wappen” seems to be rather popular. Also the Town of Füssen that put 3 Legs on their Coat of Arms because the town name is “feet”
I wonder if Zabakuck is the only one with frogs on it or not
Hippocampus is an unusual hybrid? Everyone of us has one.
That looks pretty cool and I don’t want to discredit the work you put into this project.
But afaik the red coat of arms in Passau (bottom right) acutally displays a wolf, not a lion.
Edit: More precisely it is the coat of arms of Hauzenberg. But it also shows the “Passauer Wolf” (wolf of Passau).
Edit 2: Acutally, I am sorry, OP: You did an amazing job and put +18000 Coats of arms in an interactive tool – and here I am nitpicking about a small mistake. That focus on negativity is what sucks about the internet and I don’t want to be that person. I apologize! Your map is great!
Looks like r/place canvas lol

Great idea so far, even it has some flaws. For example several cities don’t show up, except you add historical cities to it, but they never lost their status as cities.
This is super cool. I was trying to look for my childhood town, but couldn’t find a filter for lamb or sheep. Given that the Agnus Dei is reasonably popular in German heraldry, that was quite surprising. Maybe there just happened to be no example in the database, who knows. 🙂 Nevertheless, really amazing map! Especially love the dinosaur CoA
Edit: I’m stupid, I found it under “Widder” (ram).

Hey, the map with filters is available here: [https://deykun.github.io/maps/deutsche-heraldik](https://deykun.github.io/maps/deutsche-heraldik)

Amazing! You can see how the “grapes” CoAs overlap with German wine regions: [Map](https://www.deutscherwein.de/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Deutschland.gif)
Nice! Even found my city on it
