Object history
Deutsch: Das Wappen wurde 1907 genehmigt. Das älteste Siegel stammt aus dem Jahre 1442; es zeigt den hl. Wendelin, der in der Rechten den oben beschriebenen Schild hält. Der Hirtenheilige und Stadtpatron war der Legende nach ein schottischer Königssohn, der um 600 n. Chr. in der Gegend um St. Wendel predigte und später in der Stadt begraben wurde. Er gab der Stadt seinen Namen; die Lilien werden aus diesem Grund mit dem Wappen des Königreichs Schottland erklärt. Das Balkenkreuz entstammt dem Wappen von Kurtrier, zudem die Stadt gehörte.
English: The arms were granted in 1907. The oldest seal dates from the early 15th century and shows the patron saint Wendelin of Trier holding the present arms. Later, in the 17th century, seals show the same image. Wendelin of Trier 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 Electorate of Trier, to which Sankt Wendel belonged.
