From a silver sloping beam, inside a fallen red key with quatrefoil and left-facing beard, divided by blue and green, above a silver pilgrim shell, below a silver spherical vase
Explanation: Orscholz belonged to the Montclair rulership as early as the Middle Ages. The Lords of Montclair from the House of Clermont have a silver key as their coat of arms. The key may at the same time refer to the popular interpretation of the name Cloef (the most famous viewpoint in the Saarland) on the spell of Orscholz (from French: la clef = the key). The fiefdom of Montclair was given to the Lords of Sierck in 1427, whose coat of arms was described as “a red sloping bar in gold, covered with three silver pilgrim shells”. Orscholz remained in the possession of this family and their successors for centuries, which is why a silver scallop shell was placed in the upper blue field.
In the lower green field (below and green should indicate the valley that is deep down as seen from Orscholz) is a silver vase, because the municipality of Orscholz has enjoyed a strong economic boom over the past hundred years due to the employment of many residents in the ceramic industry in Mettlach took.
