The lion of Saarbrücken represents the influence first of the Counts of Saarbrücken until 1271, the Lords of Commercy from 1271-1381 and, since 1381, the Counts of Nassau-Saarbrücken.

On these designs the present arms were based. | Already in 1951 the Saarland Historical Association designed new arms based on the historical areas.
