Saarpfalz-Kreis

Saarpfalz (Saar-Palatinate) is a Kreis (district) in the south-east of the Saarland, Germany.

Neighboring districts are (from west clockwise) Saarbrücken, Neunkirchen, Kusel, Kaiserslautern, Südwestpfalz, district-free Zweibrücken, and the French département Moselle.

After the Treaty of Versailles, the Saar basin was placed under the administration of the League of Nations for 15 years.

The part which went into the Saar became commonly known as Saarpfalz, and was administered by the two Bezirksamt St. Ingbert and Homburg.

The lion in the top left is the symbol of the Palatinate (Pfalz), the cross in the top right is the symbol of Trier, both owned a large part of the district in the past.
