Origin/meaning
Sankt Wendel got city rights from Emperor Ludwig of Bavaria in 1332 and is thus one of the oldest cities in Saarland.
The oldest seal dates from the early 15th century and shows the patron saint St. Wendelin holding the present arms. Later, 17th century, seals show the same image. St. Wendelin was the son of a Scottish King, who preached in the area as a missionary in the 7th century. He is buried in the town. The fleur-de-lis in the arms are supposedly a Scottish symbol, the cross is the cross of the State of Trier, to which Sankt Wendel belonged. The present arms were officially granted in 1907.
