Comment:

 The use of the name:de tag is not exactly wrong here but not really
 helpful as Nominatim expects to find the most frequently used variant in
 the name tag. I'd suggest to move it to one of the alternative name tags,
 e.g. alt_name:de or official_name:de. Then it can still be found but it
 will not appear first anymore (or be listed under the name 'Saarburg'
 which is probably also rather unexpected in this case).

 I'll close this a wontfix, as it is not really decidable for the general
 case. (Or rather far too much effort.)
