Wappen Saarland 1948 (Germany) Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie showcases the Coat of Arms of Saarland as it existed during the Saar Protectorate (1947-1956), a period marked by its unique identity under French administration. The design is a powerful visual statement reflecting the region's history and its role as a bridge between nations.
Shield Elements
The central element is the shield, quartered to display the rich tapestry of Saarland's heritage. The top-left quarter features a striking red rose of Saint John, a direct representation of the city of Saarbrücken. This symbolizes the heart of the region. Adjacent, in the top-right quarter, are crossed hammer and pick over tongs, a symbolic nod to the important mining district of Malstatt-Burbach and the industrial foundation of the area.
The bottom-left quarter showcases a silver lion on a blue field, which is a symbolic representation of the historical region of Alt-Saarbrücken. Its placement signifies the historical roots of the region. Completing the shield's quarters, the bottom-right features four Tatzenkreuze (crosses formée), a visual testament to the region’s strong Christian heritage.
Crest and Symbolism
Above the shield, the design incorporates a red bridge crown. This crown, with four pillars and three arches, symbolizes the connection between France and Germany and Saarland's strategic role as a bridge between the two nations. This feature perfectly captures the essence of the period when the Coat of Arms was used.
