Origin/meaningOberbrechen historically belonged to Trier until 1803. The oldest known seal of the village dates from 1538 and shows the red cross of Trier and the local saint (St. Felicitas) as a supporter. In a later seal the arms showed an escutcheon with 7 heads, symbolising the seven sons of St. Felicitas. When the village became part of Nassau in 1803 the arms were replaced by the arms of Nassau. These arms were used until 1955 when the present arms were devised. In the new arms the 7 heads were replaced by 7 roses.
