The present district of Sankt Wendel has a very complicated history. The district was divided in many small part, each of these parts belonged to a different territory. Therefore only the arms of the main territories are combined in the arms of the district. The blue lion is the lion of the Counts of [[Veldenz]], the silver lion the lion of [[Nassau]]-[[Saarbrücken]]. The colours red and gold in the escutcheon are taken from the arms of Lorraine (see the arms of Saarland and [[Saarlouis]]). The fleur-de-lis is taken from the arms of the city of [[Sankt Wendel]]. | The present district of Sankt Wendel has a very complicated history.
