Description: The arms were granted on May 21, 1975. The arms combine symbols for the most influential historical rulers in the district. The first quarter shows the lion of the Palatinate, the second the cross of the State of Trier. The third quarter shows a crozier of the von der Leyen family, owner of many (smaller) possessions of a number of monasteries in the district. The silver lion is the lion of the Counts and county of Homburg, which was incorporated into the county of Saarbrücken in 1449.
