Schild silbern bordiert. In goldenem Schildhaupt ein roter, fünflätziger Steg, darunter in Blau, ein in vier Winkel zerlegtes goldenes Ankerkreuz. Origin/meaning The arms were granted on June 15, 1972. The chief symbolises the many castles in the municipality. The label itself symbolises the five former Verbandsgemeinde, which now form Bitburg-Land. The lower part shows the arms of Lord Hurel von Bettingen. These arms are taken as a symbol for the Lords of Bettingen, the oldest known noble family in the area. The bordure is a symbol for the Verbandsgemeinden in Rheinland-Pfalz.
