The miner's axe (German : Bergbarte, Bergparte) is a ceremonial axe serving as a part of the German miner's habit donned for miners' parades. [1] [2]
It is a small axe with the long top tapering to a point and a long handle. [3]
It is also called colloquially "Barte" or "Parte", which is a medieval term for axe in general. The word is preseverd, eg., in Hellebarde, "halberd" [4]
