WHAT DOES CRAMP IRON MEAN IN ENGLISH?

cramp iron

Wolfsangel

The Wolfsangel is a German term for certain heraldic charges: ▪ the design also known as hameçon or hameçon de loup, a half-moon shape with a ring, also known as Wolfsanker ▪ the design known as cramp or crampon in English, also called Doppelhaken "double-hook" ▪ a crampon with a ring at the center ▪ a crampon with a transversal stroke at the center All of these symbols are still found in a number of municipal coats of arms in Germany. The crampon is also found as a mason's mark in medieval stonework. The name means "wolf-hook" and is taken to be a stylized representation of a kind of iron hook historically used as a wolf trap. In English, the term mostly refers to the latter symbol, mainly due to its use in Nazi symbolism. The association with Nazism is possibly due to the occurrence of the symbol in Hermann Löns's 1910 novel Der Wehrwolf, where the protagonist, a resistance fighter during the Thirty Years' War, adopts the symbol as his personal badge.
