State : [[Rheinland-Pfalz]]<br/>
===Origin/meaning===
District (Kreis) : [[Mayen-Koblenz]] (until 1970 Mayen)<br>
Mayen got city rights in 1291, and the oldest seal of the city dates from the same year. It shows a castle below two crossed keys. The keys symbolise the fact that the city belonged to the [[Trier (State)|State of Trier]]. The patron saint of [[Trier]] is St. Peter, whose symbol is a key or, as it is often displayed, two crossed keys. Later seals show the same composition.
Additions : 1970 Alzheim (1969 Allenz, Berresheim), Hausen bei Mayen, Kürrenberg, Nitztal (1967 Kürrenberg, Sankt Johann-Nitz)


[[File:mayen.jpg|center]]
The first seal showing a different composition dates from 1429, and shows a cross, with in each corner a key. The present arms are based on this seal. The trees are so-called May-trees (or freedom-trees), which are a canting symbol (Mai-baum, or Maie).


====Official blazon====
Hupp showed the arms in the 1920s in a different composition, see below.
