Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on July 30, 1985.
The first three fields symbolise the territories to which the area historically belonged; the first quarter shows the arms of Lorraine (Lothringen), as Altforweiler, Berus, Bisten and Felsberg belonged to Lorraine until 1766. The second quarter shows the lion of Nassau as Überherrn belonged to Nassau-Saarbrücken until 1766. The three fleur-de-lis in the third quarter are the French Royal arms and symbolize the fact that the whole area was part of France from 1766-1793.
The fourth quarter shows a wheel with 6 spokes for the 6 former municipalities. The wheel also symbolizes traffic, as the municipality is on the border between France and Germany.
The wavy division line symbolizes the Bist river.
The previous arms, shown below, were granted on Janury 23, 1964 and are not historical.
No arms or seals are known prior to 1964. The upper part shows the fleur-de-lis of the French Royal arms. They represent the French rule over the city. The lower part shows the rectangles of the arms of Nassau and represent the time that the village belonged to Nassau-Saarbrücken. The chequered fess symbolises the importance of the village as a railway crossroads. The colours of the 'railway' are the colours of Prussia, to which the village belonged since 1815.
