(de) Innerhalb eines von Schwarz und Silber gestückten Schildbordes unter gespaltenem silbernen Schildhaupt - darin rechts eine rote Rose mit goldenem Samen und grünen Kelchblättern, links schräggekreuzt ein schwarzer Schlägel und ein schwarzer Hammer, unter den Stielenden eine gestürzte schwarze Zange - in Blau ein goldgekrönter, goldbewehrter und rotgezungter silberner Löwe, bewinkelt von vier silbernen Tatzenkreuzen.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted in 1909 after the merger of the three cities to new Saarbrücken.
The lion is the lion of Nassau-Saarbrücken, the county of which the city was the capital. The origin of the bordure I don't know. The rose is the old symbol for St. Johann and, combined with the lion, was used on the common seals of Saarbrücken and St. Johann since 1462. The miners tools were taken from the arms of Malstatt-Burbach.
Previously the city used large arms, which showed the Prussian eagle behind the shield, and holding the Royal sceptre an orb (regalia) in his claws.

The previous arms of the city showed only the lion in the bordure as can be seen from the images below from around 1900.
