Saarlouis developed around the French fortress, built in 1680-1686. The arms were granted by King Louis XIV of France. The name of the fortress was also derived from the name of the King. The arms are typical French, the three fleur-de-lis in the header are the French royal symbol and are present in the majority of the arms of cities in France. The lower part represents the king himself, Louis XIV's nickname was the Solar King. <br> | Saarlouis developed around the French fortress, built in 1680-1686.

To the arms also belonged the motto Dissipat Atque Fovet and a wall-crown, both of which are typical French (the motto comes from the royal arms). | To the arms also belonged the motto Dissipat Atque Fovet and a wall-crown, both of which are typical French (the motto comes from the royal arms). | ||
