Origin/meaning

The arms were granted in 1966 and show the local saint, St. Arnoldus.

The oldest seal of Anroldsweiler dates from the early 15th century and shows a shield with two lions, with St. Arnoldus as supporter. The shield with the lions is the arms of the Duke of Jülich, who owned the village. The arms are the same as for the Dutch province of Gelderland. The Dukes of Jülich (Gulik) were also Dukes of Gelre. The same composition can be seen on later seals of Arnoldsweiler

In the 16th century Arnoldsweiler was combined with Merzenich and the combined domain used the seal of Merzenich.

As there was no evidence for arms of Arnoldsweiler the municipality decided in 1966 to devise completely new arms.
