Wappen von Rheinbrohl

Official blazon

(de) Gespalten von Silber und Blau; vorn ein durchgehendes rotes Balkenkreuz, hinten drei, zwei zu eins gestellte silberne Pilgermuscheln.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted in 1949.

The arms first appear on the seal of the village, dating from the early 17th century. On the seal the patron saint, St. Gertrud is shown as a supporter behind the shield. The shells are most likely derived from the arms of the Metternich family. Therefore the arms date from around 1610 when Lothar von Metternich was Archbishop of Trier. Hupp explained the shells as from the arms of Archbishop Jacob von Sierk (1439-1456, the shells are then canting, as they ar ethe attribute of St. James, Jacobus), and thu sof older origin. The town historically belonged to the State of Trier. The red cross is the symbol of the State of Trier.
