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. <br> | 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.

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. | No arms or seals are known prior to 1964.
