I really like that design, very clever.  It could be applied to several other forms as well.

It’s fairly common in German heraldry. . .  I can’t locate any specific examples w/o my books (i’m doing work in a cafe right now) but I’ve seen similar effects with fish forming the dividing line as well as foxes or wolves. Hard to describe, but a cool technique.

Some examples can be found her:

which is a nice source of modern German heraldry anyway.

Yes, there is quite a couple of talented and creative young artists working on that armorial site.

There seems to be a tendency to sneak "fake initial letters" into coats-of-orms in recent German heraldry - which I, personnally, detest.

However, the "K" in this shield really is one intelligent "sneaky letter".....

 

Love it!

Stupid question, but is it still considered counter charging when the charge is something completely different on either side?

 

I like the fact that they mirrored the shape of the eagle’s head and tail feathers on the with the cross.

Well… this is a case where we don’t have any counterchanging whatsoever.

The charge overall is Argent regardless of the field it’s over.

From the birds tail I would say it is a kite and not an eagle.
