Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on December 7, 1977.
The arms show in a quartered field the symbols of the patron saints of the three villages : a bear of St. Maximinius (Niederbrechen), a dragon for St. George (Werschau) and a rose for St. Felicitas (Oberbrechen). The fourth quarter shoqs a cross, symbol of the State of Trier, to which the area historically belonged.
