Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on July 22, 1992.
Trimport historically belonged to Luxembourg, and the blue and silver colours are derived from the arms of Luxembourg. The small red shield symbolises the oldest known arms of the Counts of Vianden, as the area was part of the County of Vianden. The Counts of Vianden gave the area further in loan to the Lords Van Leyen, who used a black chevron in their arms.
The wheel is the symbol of St. Catherine, the patron saint of the village. The banner is derived from the arms of the Abbey of Prüm, which had many possessions in the area.
