Saffig (German pronunciation: [ˈzafɪç]) is a municipality in the district of Mayen-Koblenz in Rhineland-Palatinate, western Germany.
The emblem
[edit | edit source]The organ pipes and the ear show St. Cäcilia, the patron saint of the Catholic church of Saffig. The lava dome shows the territory of volcanos, where Saffig is.
History
[edit | edit source]The village was first referenced in 1258 as "Saffge". Saffig was a fiefdom of Cologne until 1481, when it became a fiefdom of the family von der Leyen. After the annexation of sinistral territory of the Rhine during the French Revolutionary Wars (1794–1815), Saffig was a "Mairie" of France. Saffig has been part of the Pellenz Verbandsgemeinde since 1992.
