Origin/meaning
Mayen got city rights in 1291, and the oldest seal of the city dates from the same year. It shows a castle below two crossed keys. The keys symbolise the fact that the city belonged to the State of Trier. The patron saint of Trier is St. Peter, whose symbol is a key or, as it is often displayed, two crossed keys. Later seals show the same composition.
The first seal showing a different composition dates from 1429, and shows a cross, with in each corner a key. The present arms are based on this seal. The trees are so-called May-trees (or freedom-trees), which are a canting symbol (Mai-baum, or Maie).
Hupp showed the arms in the 1920s in a different composition, see below.
