You write:
German heraldic examples are so far
rare.
From today's point of view according to the national borders you are right. There are none.
But what about the language and how was it 600 years ago? Here the southernmost line is at Padua / Ravenna. Now the battlements in the German-speaking area are not so rare.

The oldest in Germany/Bavaria are the two fingers (1502). As far as one can call them battlements.
