Heidelbeere refers to a type of European berry, Vaccinium myrtillus. It is sometimes called the European blueberry or European huckleberry. It can also be translated as bilberry, whortleberry, wimberry, winberry, or fraughan.

The doily features several berry-like motifs, which is probably why it was given the name of Heidelbeere.
