Deutsch: „Geteilt in Gold (Gelb) und Blau; oben ein wachsender herschauender blau gekrönter und bewehrter roter Löwe; unten ein aus stehenden Rauten gebildetes goldenes (gelbes) Gitter, in dessen Maschen heraldische goldene (gelbe) Lilien.“
English: „Per fess Or and azure; above a crowned, armed and langued azure lion rampant guardant issuant gules and below a lozengy fret Or; the lozenges charged with a fleur-de-lis Or.”
English: The arms already appear on the oldest known seal of the city, known since 1331. The upper half shows a lesser lion, derived from the arms of the
Counts of Katzenelnbogen, who acquired the area in the 13th century. Saint Goar was the capital of the Lower County of Katzenelnbogen. They probably also granted the city rights around 1250-60. The lower half shows a fret charged with fleur-de-lis, similar to other cities in the Upper County of Katzenelnbogen, the are pertaining to the Patrocinium of Virgin Mary of Darmstadt.
