There they are called "pass" or "mountain pass" in the legend, e.g. on maps of Germany or Austria. I would expect to find them on all other ICAO maps as well. Usually, but not always, the name is also given. Since these passes are very important for flight planning and execution, could you please show them on the charts.

I'm missing furtheron the passes in Austria. Would it be possible also? For route planning it would be very helpful. Thank You very much in advance.

Are these passes present on some other chart you're consulting? Yes, for example on the "Aeronautical Chart VISUAL 500" Austria/Österreich, published from DFS Germany. I'm shure, they will hand hand off a list (high and coordinates) to you with the most important passes.
