Official blazon
German	In Rot über blauem Schilfuß eine silberne Burg mit Ringmauer und blau bedachten Türmen, links überhöht von einem schwebenden, silbernen Schild mit durchgehendem rotem Kreuz.
English	blazon wanted

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on September 27, 1971.

Welschbillig received city rights in 1291, and the first seal probably was made at the same time. The seal showed the local castle of the Bishops of Trier with the arms of the diocese and state of Trier above the castle. The composition was later placed in a shield and used as arms. The arms basically never changed since, but the size and shape of the castle has changed considerably according to the fashion of the time. It has also increased in size, looking nowadays more like a walled city than a single castle.
