Wappen Saarland 1948 (Germany) (Coat of Arms) STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

Design Description

This decal showcases the historical coat of arms of Saarland, as it appeared during the Saar Protectorate period from 1947 to 1956. The design is a vibrant representation of the region's identity during a unique era, reflecting its aspirations for autonomy and its connections to both France and Germany.

Artwork Elements

The coat of arms is meticulously divided into four quadrants by a central Latin cross. Each quarter features distinct symbolic elements:

  • Top-Left Quarter: A striking red rose of Saint John, a traditional symbol of the city of SaarbrĂĽcken.
  • Top-Right Quarter: Crossed hammer and pick over tongs, which represent the important mining district of Malstatt-Burbach.
  • Bottom-Left Quarter: A silver lion set upon a blue field, representing the historical region of Alt-SaarbrĂĽcken.
  • Bottom-Right Quarter: Four Tatzenkreuze (crosses formĂ©e), emphasizing the region's strong Christian heritage.

Above the shield, a prominent red bridge crown adds to the design. This crown features four pillars and three arches, symbolizing Saarland's role as a bridge between France and Germany and representing the connection of the two nations.

Symbolism

The overall composition of the coat of arms conveys a rich tapestry of meaning. It reflects Saarland's unique identity during a period of French administration while acknowledging its historical roots. The individual symbols—the rose, the mining tools, the lion, and the crosses—each contribute to a visual narrative. They highlight the region's key cities, industries, heritage, and its aspiration to be a link between different cultures.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
