Unfortunately, the non-ASCII character got garbled when I was viewing
it in my unusual setup. Personally, I use "Da'ud notation" for
accented characters just for full portability.

SQUEEE! *thud*
"Barry" was used way more in period that in the SCA, so seeing someone
wanting it just makes me collapse in joy and emit an uncontrollable
SQUEEEE!
*thud*
And if a coat used two colors, at least in Anglo-Norman Heraldry,
one of them tended to be gules.
I'm afraid I can't find "lindis leaves"; maybe "linden leaves"?
If you want something that is just screamingly GERMAN!!!, you might
consider
Barry sable and Or, in pall three linden leaves gules.
though I've not conflict-checked it.
