===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The arms show an axe as a symbol for the many forests in the area and the roses, taken from the arms of the Lords of Eberstein, who had many goods in the area. | |||
The arms already appear on the oldest known seal of Forbach, dating from 1722. The roses disappear from the seals in the 19<sup>th</sup> century, but since the 1880s the old arms are restored. The colours were officially determined in 1901. The addition of the other municipalities did not change the arms. | The arms already appear on the oldest known seal of Forbach, dating from 1722.
