Origin/meaning
The arms were designed around 1901-1902. The arms show three fleur-de-lys, symbols of the French Royal family and used as the village was named Saint Louis by King Louis XIV in 1684. The golden fleur-de-lys were changed into silver, to distinguish the arms from the Royal Arms.
In 2008 parts of the former municipality Neuweg were transferred from Blotzheim to Saint-Louis. For the 50th anniversary of this transfer new arms were designed, impaling the Neuweg arms with those of Saint-Louis. These have no official status.
