The red volcanic cone with the black cloud of smoke at the top in the base of the shield refers to the former volcanoes of the volcanic Eifel, which in Saffig shaped the landscape and local industry through lava and pumice, the silver organ pipes and the silver palm branch are taken from an old seal of approval from 1784, which St. Maria De Mattias had used for the first time. Cäcilia as patroness of the Saffig parish church, in her right hand she carries an organ as a symbol of church music, in her left hand a palm branch as a sign of her martyrdom". https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saffig#Wappen Address: Eckerstraße 56648 Saffig Web page about the bearer of Coat of Arms (if exists): [Web Link] Web page about the structure where is Coat of Arms installed (if exists): Not listed
