I add a new sidebar with 3 columns, but i don´t know, what i have to write in the “style.css” in my child theme. Under this new sidebar, i use also the old sidebar with 2 columns.

functions.php

<?php
/**
 * Register additional widget areas for front page.
 */
function mytheme_widgets_init() {
	register_sidebar( array(
		'name' => __( 'Third Front Page Widget Area', 'twentytwelve' ),
		'id' => 'sidebar-4',
		'description' => __( 'Appears when using the optional Front Page template with a page set as Static Front Page', 'twentytwelve' ),
		'before_widget' => '<aside id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
		'after_widget' => '</aside>',
		'before_title' => '<h3 class="widget-title">',
		'after_title' => '</h3>',
	) );

	register_sidebar( array(
		'name' => __( 'Fourth Front Page Widget Area', 'twentytwelve' ),
		'id' => 'sidebar-5',
		'description' => __( 'Appears when using the optional Front Page template with a page set as Static Front Page', 'twentytwelve' ),
		'before_widget' => '<aside id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
		'after_widget' => '</aside>',
		'before_title' => '<h3 class="widget-title">',
		'after_title' => '</h3>',
	) );

	register_sidebar( array(
		'name' => __( 'Fifth Front Page Widget Area', 'twentytwelve' ),
		'id' => 'sidebar-6',
		'description' => __( 'Appears when using the optional Front Page template with a page set as Static Front Page', 'twentytwelve' ),
		'before_widget' => '<aside id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
		'after_widget' => '</aside>',
		'before_title' => '<h3 class="widget-title">',
		'after_title' => '</h3>',
	) );
}
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'mytheme_widgets_init' );
?>

sidebar-front2.php

<?php
/**
 * The sidebar containing the second set of front page widget areas.
 *
 * If no active widgets in either sidebar, they will be hidden completely.
 *
 */
/*
 * The widget area is triggered if any of the areas
 * have widgets. So let's check that first.
 *
 * If none of the sidebars have widgets, then let's bail early.
 */
if ( ! is_active_sidebar( 'sidebar-4' ) && ! is_active_sidebar( 'sidebar-5' ) && ! is_active_sidebar( 'sidebar-6' ))
	return;

// If we get this far, we have widgets. Let do this.
?>
<div id="tertiary" class="widget-area" role="complementary">
	<?php if ( is_active_sidebar( 'sidebar-4' ) ) : ?>
	<div class="third front-widgets">

	<?php endif; ?>

	<?php if ( is_active_sidebar( 'sidebar-5' ) ) : ?>
	<div class="fourth front-widgets">

</div><!-- #tertiary -->

front-page.php

<?php

get_header(); ?>

	<div id="primary" class="site-content">
		<div id="content" role="main">

			<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
				<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) : ?>
					<div class="entry-page-image">
						<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
					</div><!-- .entry-page-image -->
				<?php endif; ?>

				<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'page' ); ?>

			<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>

		</div><!-- #content -->
	</div><!-- #primary -->

<?php get_sidebar( 'front2' ); ?>
<?php get_sidebar( 'front' ); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
