SCHAFBRÜCKE
State : Saarland
District (Kreis) : Saarbrücken
Amt : Amt Brebach (until 1974)
Incorporated into : 1974 Saarbrücken
Origin/meaning :
The arms were officially granted on May 16, 1962.
The arms show the Scheidterbach river and the local bridge as a canting element (Brücke=bridge). The two wheels are taken from the arms of Bischmisheim and Scheidt, as the municipality was created in 1960 from parts of those municipalities.
Literature : Lehne and Kohler, 1981
