Origin/meaning
Boppard was already in the early 13th century a free Imperial City and thus used the Imperial Eagle on its seals, the oldest known since 1216. The seal shows the eagle on a city wall. A second 13th century seal also shows the eagle on a shield besides the local church and patron saint, St. Severus. In the 14th century the eagle appears alone, in the 15th century with an escutcheon with the cross of Trier. Boppard was sold to Trier in 1312.

In 1817 the arms were granted for the first time, in 1911 the arms were replaced by the eagle and the cross of Trier as an escutcheon. In 1962 the arms were granted without the escutcheon, but after the mergers in 1975 the escutcheon was restored again, but only in 1985.
