In 1816, in the wake of Napoleon’s downfall and the Congress of Vienna, French rule ended and Schauren found itself in the Kingdom of Prussia.

The village fields’ meagre yields spurred many men to find other work when industrialization began to make itself felt.

The German blazon does not mention the lion's tincture, but going by the image used in this article, it is gules (red).

The charge on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side, the vase, recalls an important archaeological find in Schauren, a 38.5 cm-tall vessel unearthed at a grave from late La Tène times (late 1st century BC).

The lion on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side is a reference to the village's former allegiance to the Waldgraviate-Rhinegraviate.

Idar-Oberstein's station, as a Regional-Express and Regionalbahn stop, is linked by way of the Nahe Valley Railway (Bingen–Saarbrücken) to the Saarland and the Frankfurt Rhine Main Region.

Of Schauren's once many gemstone businesses, only a very few have survived the current far-reaching shift in economic structure that this craft has been undergoing.
